The Durutti Column announces first album in 16 years, shares "Liars"

Vini Reilly has announced Renascent, his first album as The Durutti Column in 16 years, scheduled for release on July 31 via London Records. The album was made with longtime collaborators Keir Stewart and Bruce Mitchell, with contributions from Manchester singer-songwriter Caoilfhionn Rose. Artwork was created by Mark Holt and Hamish Muir of 8vo, whose work with Reilly dates back to his Factory Records days. Renewed attention has followed the band, including sampling by Dev Hynes on Blood Orange’s 2025 album Essex Honey, a mention by Frank Ocean, and praise from Harry Styles, who included a Durutti Column tribute in his Meltdown Festival curation. The first single, “Liars,” combines Reilly’s guitar style with chill clubby beats.
