Download: Bernard Sumner records ‘Didn’t Know What Love Was’ with Hot Chip

A few weeks back, we posted a great Stone Roses cover by The Raveonettes that was commissioned and given away by Dr. Martens — and now another noted shoemaker is getting in on the musical action. On Wednesday, the UK arm of Converse will release a free new track by former New Order/current Bad Lieutenant frontman Bernard Sumner, recorded with Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard of electropop act Hot Chip and DJ/producer duo Hot City.

The track — “Didn’t Know What Love Was” — will be available “globally” as a free download via converse.co.uk; a music video of the song is slated to follow on Nov. 5. For now, check out the Converse-produced video above, which features Sumner strolling around Manchester talking about his musical past. While wearing Chuck Taylors, of course.

UPDATE: 10/6/10: “Didn’t Know What Love Was” is now available at converse.co.uk, or it can be streamed or downloaded directly after the jump.
