OMD | Crush | Album
Regular price
Released on 17 June 1985, Crush marked a major pivot for British synth-pop pioneers Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD). Aimed squarely at cracking the North American market, the album traded the band's signature avant-garde, Kraftwerk-inspired electronica for the polished, lush production of Stephen Hague. While the transition alienated some purists who viewed the shift as a commercial sell-out, Crush stands as a remarkably sophisticated pop record that balances radio-friendly hooks with a lingering, melancholic undercurrent.
