Lost Sirens is a compilation album and the ninth studio album by the English rock band New Order, released on 11 January 2013 by Rhino Entertainment. It is the final album featuring bassist Peter Hook, who left the band in 2007, and the only album by New Order ever produced from archival recordings currently. The tracks featured on the album were recorded during the production of 2005's Waiting for the Sirens' Call, but they never made it to the final release.
Lost Sirens drew mostly positive reviews, and it sold 4,678 copies in its first week.
As with Waiting for the Sirens' Call, Lost Sirens was written and performed by Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Phil Cunningham. The album was recorded at Real World Studios in 2003–04; the production costs totalled £700,000. The songs featured on Lost Sirens were originally intended for release shortly after the release of Waiting for the Sirens' Call, but were shelved when Hook left in 2007. "Hellbent" was previously released in 2011 as part of the compilation album, Total: From Joy Division to New Order. It is the second New Order album recorded without Gillian Gilbert who left the band in 2001 to look after her family.
The album was originally scheduled for release in late 2012. In a Brazilian interview to promote the reunited band's appearance in São Paulo, Gillian Gilbert acknowledged issues with former member Peter Hook, and stated there was "a lot going on behind the scenes on the copyright" delaying the album. The band announced in December 2012 that the album would be released on 14 January 2013. Prior to release, the album was streamed on the Rolling Stone official website from 11 January 2013.
