OMD launches video for title track upcoming album ‘The Punishment of Luxury’
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are back! The second single to be taken from OMD’s forthcoming album “The Punishment of Luxury”, after the earlier released “La Mitrailleuse”, is the title track. You can watch the video below. The new album will be out on September 1st and can be ordered right here on CD, as a download or on vinyl.
Regarding the title of the album Andy McCluskey explains: “Most people in the Western world are materially better off than their predecessors ever were and yet we are unhappier. Now we have many possessions we don’t need because we’ve been persuaded to buy. This is the punishment of luxury.”
“The Punishment of Luxury” is the 13th studio album by the English synth-pop group, and the third since their 2006 reformation and was produced by OMD. OMD are set to tour Europe and North America in support of the album.
The album will also be available as an exclusive 12″ vinyl which will be released on 13th October. The 12″ vinyl is limited to 1,000 copies worldwide and includes a 12″ extended mix of the single and an exclusive b-side entitled Lampe Licht.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
