Peter Hook, the bassist of Joy Division and New Order, is about to start one hell of a gambit. On his Fall tour of the states, Hook, along with his band The Light, are going to play the entirety of New Orderâs Low-Life and Brotherhood albums in addition to a Joy Division set.

Itâs a particularly daring maneuver because while Joy Divisionâs catalog is some of the worldâs most heralded music, and New Orderâs Power, Corruption, and Lies was where the band hit it big, both Low-Life and Brotherhood are trickier releases. Those LPs found Hook merging his trademark low, rumbling, dread-bass with lighter, gossamer sounds. The result is some of New Orderâs most cherished, and most obscure, songs. After years in suspension, the tunes are finally getting a live workout.

To learn about the new tour, features editor John Gentile spoke to Hook about the LPs, hanging out with Quincy Jones and the ever-brittle band member relations of New Order.
