Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark The Punishment Of Luxury
Release Date: September 1, 2017
Label: White Noise
Synth-pop pioneers OMD return with their dazzling 13th studio album, The Punishment Of Luxury, which sees them combine the wistful nostalgia and idealized romance of their previous work while stepping out of their comfort zone. It’s a daring collection of stylish synth pop and masterful songwriting. Written, recorded, produced and mixed by OMD - Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys - the album is the sound of a band in their prime. OMD's influence has become ubiquitous. The XX, the Killers and LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy have cited the duo as an inspiration, and the likes of Future Islands and Chvrches show traces of OMD's DNA.
