Six years since the release of their critically-acclaimed, Top 5-charting ‘The Punishment Of Luxury’, synth pioneers OMD return with ‘Bauhaus Staircase’.

Out October 27, the album’s first offering is the title track, which serves as a nod both to Andy McCluskey’s love of the Bauhaus era and the power of protest art.

“I am a huge lover of visual arts, especially mid 20th century movements,” Andy comments. “The song is a metaphor for strength and artist passion in the face of criticism and adversity.

“When times are hard, there is a tendency for Governments to look at cutting funding for creativity, just at the moment when the arts are most needed to nourish our souls. It seems appropriate that the song and its eponymous album were created during Covid lockdown.”

It arrives as the band’s most explicitly political record and the crowning achievement of their desire to be both Stockhausen and ABBA – born from the impetus to kickstart new explorations during the pandemic. 

As Andy admits: “I rediscovered the creative power of total boredom.”

“I’m very happy with what we’ve done on this record,” he adds of the 12-track record. “I’m comfortable if this is OMD’s last statement.”

‘Bauhaus Staircase’ is available to pre-order now.
