LISTEN & SHARE: OMD - "WHAT HAVE WE DONE" LISTEN & SHARE: OMD - "THE VIEW FROM HERE" WATCH & SHARE: OMD - "THE PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY" WATCH & SHARE: OMD - "ISOTYPE" "...a very nice mix of classic sounds, modern techniques, and the duo’s still-sharpe melodic skills." - Brooklyn Vegan ""Isotype" is a soaring six minutes of deeply Kraftwerk-ian vocoder-pop, a masterclass in soulful electronic from a pair that's been making music for four decades. In total OMD fashion, the new song takes a lesson from art history and applies it the modern day, examining how winky and smiling-pop icons have replaced everyday language." - NPR "Lyrically, The Punishment Of Luxury is distinguished by its thoughtful examinations of power dynamics....The Punishment Of Luxury exudes warmth and empathy throughout." - A.V. Club “The Punishment of Luxury” is an addicting jolt of bright ’80s synthpop, replete with Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys’ pristine harmonies." - Consequence Of Sound "Unconcerned with rewriting their '80s glory, their new records are instead a modern-day continuation of the classic sound begun decades ago." - Under The Radar Brooklyn Vegan has announced OMD's 2018 North American tour dates. They also shared the extended version of the band's song "What Have We Done".

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 Order the album HERE! 2018 U.S. Tour Dates: 3/6 Washington D.C., Black Cat 3/7 Philadelphia, PA, Theatre Of The Living Arts 3/9 Boston, MA, House Of Blues 3/10 New York, NY, Terminal 5 3/12 Toronto, ON, Danforth Music Hall 3/14 Detroit, MI, Majestic Theatre 3/16 Chicago, IL, Vic Theatre 3/17 Milwaukee, WI, Northern Lights Theatre 3/18 Minneapolis, MN, First Ave. 3/20 Denver, CO, Ogden Theatre 3/21 Salt Lake City, UT, The Depot 3/23 Vancouver, B.C., Commodore Ballroom 3/24 Seattle, WA, Showbox @ The Market 3/25 Portland, OR, Wonder Ballroom 3/27 San Francisco, CA, The Regency Ballroom 3/29 Los Angeles, CA The Wiltern Theatre 3/30 Anaheim, CA, The House Of Blues 3/31 San Diego, CA, The House of Blues 4/2 Phoenix, AZ, The Van Buren 4/5 Dallas, TX, House Of Blues 4/6 Austin, TX, Emos 4/7 Houston, TX, House OF Blues 4/9 New Orleans, LA, Civic Theatre 4/10 Atlanta, GA, Center Stage 4/12 Orlando, FL The Beacham 4/13 St. Petersburg, FL The State Theatre 4/14 Ft.
