Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD) return with Bauhaus Staircase, their 14th studio album and first in six years, inspired by creativity sparked during lockdown boredom. The title track pays tribute to Bauhaus art and the resilience of creativity amid adversity, especially during times of funding cuts. The album blends protest anthems, cinematic ballads, and electronic dance, tackling themes of the future and societal challenges. Closing with the reflective ‘Healing,’ Bauhaus Staircase proves OMD remain vital 45 years after their debut, delivering one of their finest works yet.
