dMh recently released his re-imagining of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s ‘Messages’. Where once were synths now lie intricate electric guitar lines, re-positioning the track’s atmosphere with a more gritty attitude. Arpeggios scatter the soundscape, whilst melodies dance around the lead vocal. It’s a faithful tribute to the original track, transforming it with new ideas, whilst maintaining the new romantic blueprints.
dMh adds, “I always loved the original and felt the song could lend itself quite nicely to a rock-ish guitar treatment”
After first teasing the project with a cover of Joy Division’s ‘Disorder’, the release of ‘Messages’ brings listeners ever closer to dMh’s birthplace homage, the album ‘Songs From The North’.
