Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) released their 13th studio album back at the start of the month and I have to say, giving it a listen through, it is an impressive collection of synthpop tracks!

 

Isotype was the lead single released back in May, followed by The Punishment of Luxury which was was C-Listed by Radio 2 last month and the next single is What Have We Done, due out towards the end of the year.

 

As We Open, So We Close is stunning and definitely my standout track from the album!

Are OMD not alternative rather than pop on buzzjack though, if fellow synthpop group CHVRCHES are? :unsure:

I didn't know where to put the thread :lol: It can be moved if necessary! Pet Shop Boys are always in Pop.
