Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark are back with the second single from their new album ‘Bauhaus Staircase’.
The second single to be lifted from the LP, Slow Train follows the title song, with the raucous, glam-tinged track arriving with help from the band’s only other external influence, David Watts.
Of the rock producer’s impact on their direction, Andy McCluskey says: “Slow Train is a bonkers song and the video is stunningly crazy!
“It feels nice to be able to challenge people’s expectations of the band after 45 years of creating music.”
Listen to Slow Train below.
Out October 27, ‘Bauhaus Staircase’ 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.
