Bauhaus Staircase is the fourteenth studio album by the English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, and the fourth since their 2006 reformation. Released on 27 October 2023 by White Noise Records, it is their first album in six years since The Punishment of Luxury. The record was largely inspired by world politics during the late 2010s and early 2020s. Its release was preceded by three singles: the title track, "Slow Train", and "Veruschka". Bauhaus Staircase received positive reviews. Record Collector and Classic Pop magazines named it the best new album release in their respective November 2023 issues, while other outlets considered it to be OMD's finest work since the mid-1980s. The record debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the group's highest-charting studio album in their home country, and matching the peak of 1988's The Best of OMD. It topped the UK Independent Albums Chart. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauhaus...) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
