About this listen
Guest: Paul Humphreys, co-founder of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD)
In this episode, I’m joined by Paul Humphreys of OMD to discuss the musical duo's return to U.S. stages in 2025, their recent standout performance at Cruel World Festival, and the continuing creative evolution of one of synth-pop’s most influential acts. Paul reflects on the critical and commercial success of Bauhaus Staircase, OMD’s politically conscious lyrics, the band’s hybrid analog-digital production setup, and his collaborative dynamic with Andy McCluskey.
We also talk about what it’s like to perform songs that span decades, how they decide who sings lead, and what newer material has struck a chord with modern audiences.
