The Other Two are an English dance band consisting of husband-and-wife Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert, who are both from New Order. The band name refers to the fact that the other New Order members, Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook, had already embarked on side projects by the time the first the Other Two record was released. Their debut single "Tasty Fish" was released in 1991 and peaked at No. 41 on the UK Singles Chart.

The Other Two have released two albums, The Other Two & You (1993) and Super Highways (1999).

Albums

The Other Two & You

Initially conceived from the remnants of unused soundtrack work and various studio experiments, the Other Two began during a hiatus in New Order activity. They decided to feature a female vocalist, and in early stages Kim Wilde was recruited as a potential singer for the group. Ultimately however, Gilbert would take over on vocals, and performs on both Other Two albums.

Lead single "Tasty Fish" was released in 1991 to positive reviews. However, due to the collapse of Factory Records, The Other Two & You could not be released as initially planned. The release of New Order's Republic in the meantime meant that The Other Two & You was delayed until November 1993, finally being released on London Records. "Selfish" was chosen as a second single, and "Innocence" was also released as a club 12-inch in the US.

Other work

Morris and Gilbert reportedly considered assembling a third album around 2010 from other production work, although this did not materialise. The name was also used for Morris and Gilbert's 2014 remix of a Tim Burgess track.

In 2022, the duo did a remix of a LoneLady track, "(There Is) No Logic".
