Holding out for OMD Escalator from Messrs Ash, Haskins, J, and Murphy
Ear worm! It was exciting to see the video debut today. OMD is so frickin’ good in concert.
You are awesome! This is the best news in a long time.
Great new song and lovely video. Really like the visuals and the album cover is very reminiscent to the logo of Factory Records, IMO which I am sure is just coincidence. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.
Every album they releSe is fab! Best Live Band!
