The Durutti Column have released 'Renascent', their first studio album of new material in more than 15 years. Led by guitarist Vini Reilly, the influential Manchester project has always occupied a space between post-punk, ambient music, jazz and dream pop in post-punk history.
Produced by Keir Stewart, 'Renascent' surrounds Reilly’s distinctive guitar work with warm keyboards, piano, restrained beats and atmospheric details. Long-time percussionist Bruce Mitchell remains an important presence, while guest vocalist Caoilfhionn Rose appears on 'Agonistes' and 'Sargasso Sea.' Following Reilly's health struggles after multiple strokes, the record stands as a modest and powerful testament to creative continuity.
