OMD to Release First New Album in 14 Years
It's being reported that electro-pop darlings Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark have recently announced that they will be releasing their first new studio album since 1996’s 'Universal this September.' The album, 'History of Modern,' will be released by 100% Records on September 20th in the U.K. and by Bright Antenna on September 28th in the US. The record’s artwork was created by legendary Factory Records designer Peter Saville, who designed all of the band’s record sleeves from their 1979 debut single, “Electricity,” to 1984’s Junk Culture full-length. The album will also be available as a limited-edition, Saville-designed embossed boxset, which will include the album on two heavyweight slabs of vinyl, a picture book, an artwork print, a DVD on making the album, and a Saville-designed T-shirt.

Dunes Announce "Old Souls" 7", Launch Tour
Art Fag Recordings presents Dune's limited edition "Old Souls" 7" vinyl record which will be available on August 31st. Pressed in an edition of 500 vinyl records, "Old Souls" features all exclusive unreleased tracks. Additionally, the digital version of the EP will include the washed out bonus track "Lemon Drop You."
Dunes is an LA-based trio, who bend timeless, ornate darkness into new and forlorn forms. The three artists have deconstructed the classic instrumental set up and rebuilt from the drums up, creating tools for their own dreamy vision of pop. Their inspiration forms itself in themes from outside forces to inner balance. Though serious in musical intentions, they do bring a fun and kinetic element to their live performances.
