LISTEN & SHARE: OMD - "THE VIEW FROM HERE" WATCH & SHARE: OMD - "THE PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY" WATCH & SHARE: OMD - "ISOTYPE" With their 13th studio album ‘The Punishment Of Luxury’ out September 1st via White Noise Records, synth-pop pioneers Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark have released a new instant grat track "The View From Here" which premiered on Clash and was released on August 18th. Prior to the release of this track OMD released videos for the singles "Isotype" and "The Punishment Of Luxury". As well as a video for the album's instrumental track "La Mitrailleuse".  Having played triumphant shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco this summer, OMD head back out on the road again this autumn for a string of must-see shows in the U.K. and across Europe.   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. The LP is out September 1st on White Noise Records. The follow up to the critically acclaimed ‘English Electric’ (released in 2013) ‘The Punishment Of Luxury’ is a daring collection of stylish synth pop and masterful songwriting which will certainly rank alongside their very best. Written, recorded, produced and mixed by OMD – Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys – the album is the sound of a band in their prime. ‘On this album we have managed to make beautiful things out of noises and repetitive patterns’, explains Andy. ‘The trouble is, we just cant help but write a catchy melody!’ The album takes its name from an 1891 painting by the Italian Giovani Segantini and contains everything from the Kraftwerkian ‘Isotype’ and ‘Robot Man’ to the blue eyed soul ballads of ‘One More Time’ and ‘The View From Here’ as well as more traditional OMD songs like ‘Kiss Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Bang’ and the synth heavy title track. Described by The Quietus as “not just one of the best synth bands ever – they are one of the best bands ever”, OMD’s influence has become ubiquitous. The xx, the Killers and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy have cited OMD as an inspiration, and the likes of Future Islands and Chvrches show traces of OMD’s DNA.   View the beautiful animated video of the track ‘La Mitrailleuse’ HERE Pre-order the album HERE!
