New album 'Continue'
After the tragic passing of Michael Tee in May 2024 Scattered Order were determined to continue on so in June they returned to the studio to start recording a new album. Early on in the proceedings it was decided to use drones that Michael had already recorded as a basis for the tracks. So began an exploration of processing, sampling and repurposing these drones and incidentals into salient elements for a series of new recordings. Over the period of a couple of months they became quite focussed and obsessional, producing a platter of hope-filled laments that touched on the ephemeral and timeless moments in memory and slow renewal.

All things must persist
Scattered Order return with All things must persist their most challenging
release in 44 years of music creating. The album they have always strived to make. It was originally assembled
in chaos and disorder; a collision of 1970’s trippy movie soundtracks; ‘you know who’ live at Pompeii;
lush sounds; jokes; messed up grooves; pianos tinkling in the night; mistakes and bungles; a couple of old
canons and drones. An introspective subtly is evident throughout the nine tracks. Sometimes delicate and
wistful then suddenly jarred by abrasive noise making and always looking forward with hope.
Available as 2 x vinyl LPs and digital.
