The Durutti Column return after sixteen years and make patience sound graceful

The Durutti Column announcing their first new album in sixteen years is not just a heritage headline. It is a reminder that some music ages by becoming more mysterious, not less relevant. Renascent is set for release on 31 July via London Records, marking the group’s first original material since 2010’s A Paean to Wilson. Led by Vini Reilly, with Bruce Mitchell and producer Keir Stewart involved, the project arrives at a moment when younger listeners have been rediscovering the band through modern artist references and the wider return of interest in Factory Records-era atmosphere. The new single Liars offers the first signal from this next chapter. For indie music fans, this is the good kind of comeback news: not a desperate reboot, but a quiet reactivation of a musical language that helped shape post-punk, ambient guitar music and the emotional edge of Manchester’s underground history.
