Our Take

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, the quirky duo from Merseyside, have never been ones to shy away from pushing sonic boundaries. Their latest offering, "Architecture And Morality," is a masterclass in ethereal synth-pop that will have you reaching for your nearest pair of oversized headphones.

From the moment the haunting intro of "The New Stone Age" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. With its lush layers of synths and booming drum machines, this track sets the tone for the rest of the album. And let me tell you, it's a wild and wonderful ride.

Tracks like "Sealand" and "Silent Running" showcase the band's knack for blending the futuristic with the nostalgic, creating a sound that is both otherworldly and strangely familiar. And don't even get me started on the dreamy ballad "Joan of Arc." It's a love letter to the French heroine that will have you reaching for a tissue and a glass of wine.

But it's not all just heart-wrenching ballads and dreamy synths. Tracks like "Georgia" and "The Beginning and the End" bring a sense of urgency and drama to the album, keeping you on your toes throughout.

In conclusion, "Architecture And Morality" is a triumph for Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. It's a sonic journey that will leave you breathless and begging for more. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let the music wash over you. You won't regret it.

About the artist

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Ah, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, the enigmatic synth-pop wizards from the Wirral. With a name as complex as their intricate layers of synthesizers, OMD burst onto the scene in the late 70s with their pioneering blend of electronic melodies and poignant lyrics. Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys are the brains behind the operation, creating a sonic landscape that is both danceable and introspective. Their breakout single "Electricity" was a jolt to the system, a pulsating anthem that solidified their place in the annals of British pop history. With a discography spanning over four decades, OMD have consistently pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a synth-pop act. From the moody atmospherics of "Maid of Orleans" to the infectious hooks of "Enola Gay", their music is a testament to their ability to evolve and adapt while staying true to their roots. But what truly sets OMD apart is their live performances. McCluskey's kinetic energy on stage is matched only by Humphreys' cool demeanor behind the keys. Together, they create a dynamic, unforgettable show that leaves fans wanting more. So, whether you're a die-hard synth-head or just looking to dance the night away, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark are a must-see act. With their iconic sound and infectious energy, OMD continue to captivate audiences around the world.
