Yesterday the Hollywood Reporter posted a short interview with Peter Hook. Hooky was asked about the newly released New Order outtakes album Lost Sirens and revealed he was "absolutely delighted" with the release:
"What really made me happy is when I listened to the tracks and realized how good they are,” Hook says. “It came as such a relief to realize that, ‘Oh God, we did do some great things together.’ We did have a great time writing that music. We were very, very together in the writing of [The Lost Sirens], and that was the nice part."
Hook also (of course) discussed the schism with his ex-bandmates as well as his new memoir Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division. Read the full article: New Order's Peter Hook: 'It's The End An Era' here.
