On August 23rd, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) will be releasing the first single "Bauhaus Staircase" from their 14th album Bauhaus Staircase. The album will be coming shortly after on October 27th with several forthcoming singles leading up to its street date. OMD are one of the earliest, most commercially successful, and enduring synth pop groups. They've continually drawn from early electronic music as they've alternately disregarded, mutated, or embraced the conventions of the three-minute pop song.
