I utterly agree that Orchestral Manoeuvres within the Darkish (OMD) is a band that has managed to remain related even in any case these years. In contrast to another bands that depend on their previous successes, OMD has all the time targeted on evolving and arising with new tasks. It’s no surprise that they’re nonetheless going sturdy after 40 years within the trade. I might like to see them carry out reside sometime, as I’ve been a fan for a very long time.

Orchestral Manoeuvres within the Darkish is making ready to launch its 14th album, “Bauhaus Staircase,” on twenty seventh October. Having unleashed the title observe by means of introduction. Noticeably they don’t seem to be ones to water down the digital parts or accept tame lyricism. That simply isn’t what they’re about, since they’ve by no means strayed from setting themselves aside lyrically. Preferring concentrating on gritty subjects, overlaying historical past or politics, whereas appreciating artwork. Therefore on this occasion, “Bauhaus Staircase” is used as a metaphor for all issues inventive and good on the earth.

“The title is derived from an Oskar Schlemmer portray. He taught at Bauhaus, and created the superb futuristic costumes for The Triadic Ballet (referenced within the track).” Andy reveals.

This launch includes a hanging animated video idea created by the Hull-based Cine 1080 Studio. The conceptual theme is a futuristic tackle traditional dystopian novels like “1984” and “Fahrenheit 451,” however with a twist. As an alternative of guide burners, the story options artwork police who search to manage and censor all types of creativity. It’s a hanging and thought-provoking idea that raises some necessary questions in regards to the function of artwork and expression in society.

Whereas treating our ears to immaculate, status synth-pop by way of the lens of prolific, suave lyricism, OMD continues feeding our minds meals for thought.

I’m excited to listen to that OMD will likely be enjoying at California’s Darker Waves Pageant in November! It seems like an incredible lineup with New Order, Tears for Fears, Echo & The Bunnymen, Devo, Gentle Cell, Psychedelic Furs, The Human League, B-52s and extra. I can’t wait to see what different particulars will likely be introduced for this new chapter… longing for a UK tour.
