"Cause for exaltation" - NPR
"Synth pop icons re-emerge with '80s allure intact...Andy McCluskey's ageless croon still conjures ghosts in the synth pop machinery, as vintage Mellotrons weep quasi-operatic tears."
- SPIN
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD) have premiered a video of their live performance of "New Babies; New Toys" exclusively at InterviewMagazine.com TODAY. The track is off their most recent acclaimed album, History of Modern, live from NYC's famed Terminal 5. Check out the video HERE<http://www.interviewmagazine.com/blogs/music/2011-08-16/video-premiere-new-babies-new-toys-omd/>! OMD, one of the UK's most iconic bands, are returning to the U.S. and Canada for an extensive 21-stop North American tour this fall following their sold-out and highly praised spring run earlier this year. The tour will feature the original OMD line up of Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Martin Cooper (keyboards) and Malcolm Holmes (drums).
Kicking off September 16 in Miami, the outing brings the band to such cities as Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Dallas and San Francisco plus two special performances at Irving Plaza in NYC, and many more. In cities where they performed this spring, OMD will be playing a slightly different set of songs to keep the show fresh, but will still include all the hits and classic fan favorites. Tickets are on sale now HERE<http://omd.brightantenna.com/> and VIP packages are available HERE<http://omd.brightantenna.com/>. VIP options include:
-Platinum Ticket Package ($150): Meet OMD, intimate soundcheck experience, a USB recording of the show you attend, limited-edition Live from Berlin CD and book and a unique concert t-shirt.
-Gold Ticket Package ($75): intimate soundcheck experience and a unique concert t-shirt.
OMD is touring in support of History of Modern, their first new album in over a decade. Released last fall via Bright Antenna/ILG, the album has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide and continues to receive overwhelming praise. Interview Magazine calls it "a forward-thinking but nostalgic visit to OMD's synth-y past....they are as influential as the band's contemporaries-Numan, Depeche Mode, even Joy Division," and the Los Angeles Times states "their updates of Kraftwerk's and Can's analog wrangling still sound like tomorrow." The album was self-produced by OMD and mixed by one of the UK's most in demand producers Mike Crossey (Artic Monkeys/Blood Red Shoes/Razorlight).
It's nearly thirty years since OMD first harnessed their creative and commercial powers, and 2010's return with History of Modern proves they still have a way with a warm melody and interesting lyric. Their latest effort is a powerful, pulsating, vibrant testament to their shared pop sensibility. The 13-song collection contains classic OMD songs that invoke their pioneering and influential electronic roots. Many of today's electro artists such as LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy, Mark Ronson, The XX, MGMT and The Killers have repeatedly cited OMD as a massive inspiration.
