OMD | Bauhaus Staircase

Synthpop legends Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD) return with their 14th studio album "Bauhaus Staircase", more than six years after the triumph of their last record "The Punishment of Luxury". The new album was born from the impetus to kickstart new explorations during lockdown when as Andy McCluskey admits:"I rediscovered the creative power of total boredom."

By rights OMD should be in semi-retirement performing classics like Enola Gay and Maid Of Orleans on the nostalgia festival circuit like so many peers. Instead they've created a landmark album worthy of their finest work. Bauhaus Staircase remains unmistakably the work of a duo who are still perfectly in sync 45 years after their first gig at legendary Liverpool club Eric's.
