OMD Marvel More than Synthpop's Increasing Fanbase


OMD (or else well-known as Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) have already been making synthpop for more than 3 decades, however they really feel their fanbase has grown even larger recently. "In the Nineties - grunge and Britpop - there appeared to be nothing more out of style than an Eighties synthesizer music group," Andy McCluskey explained at Rolling Stone's Rock Room on the third day of Coachella. "Even in the Eighties, while we 1st came to the States, we were selling millions of records in Europe, however we could not get arrested more than here."

 

As electric music has grown Stateside, though, so has OMD's following. "It is unusual, for us, 35 years after all of us began the music group, there is many generations that are more into us now than there ever used to be," McCluskey stated. "Particularly how many younger kids there are."

 

OMD also spoke about their background with each other, their album English Electric and the slight disconnect among their music and present DJs. However, they're thrilled about how additional artists have cited them as an motivation. "It is incredible - especially younger artists, really," McCluskey mentioned, "how several younger artists who else are interested in making use of electronic instruments that appear to be referencing us as influential - which usually is a nice spot to be."
