History of Modern

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, one of the UK’s most iconic bands, are back with their first new album in 14 years, the appropriately entitled ‘History Of Modern’. And what a return. Andy McCluskey has called it ‘our best album since Architecture and Morality’. The album was produced by OMD and mixed by one of the UK’s most in demand producers Mike Crossey (Artic Monkeys/Blood Red Shoes/Razorlight). 'History of Modern' is a powerful, pulsating, vibrant and contemporary album with a strong pop sensibility. Some are huge future dancefloor fillers while others are more classic OMD songs. The music sees a return to the band's early pioneering electronic roots, a sound that is now recognised as being a major influence on many of today’s electro artists. The likes of LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, The XX and The Killers have all cited OMD as a massive inspiration.
