OMD released 'The Punishment of Luxury' (listen), announce North American tour

UK synthpop greats OMD released new album The Punishment of Luxury earlier this month, a very nice mix of classic sounds, modern techniques, and the duo’s still-sharpe melodic skills. (And in these days of withering cover art, the LP’s graphic design is genuinely terrific.) If you haven’t checked it out, you can stream it below. We’ve also got the premiere of an classic style “extended mix” (like they’d put on 12″ singles in the ’80s) of the swaying “What Have We Done,” and you can listen to that below as well.

OMD played a few West Coast dates over the summer but have now announced a full North American tour for 2018, including a NYC show at Terminal 5 on March 10. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, September 22 at 10 AM.
