ENOLA GAY

I never unrstand bands who tire of playg their biggt h, the song that’s been the key to their entire Humphreys, keyboardsI was always uneasy about the fact that Enola Gay was a bright, perky pop song about a nuclear holot, but was sanely tchy.

But “Enola Gay” is a roundg refutatn of the notn nothg substantial, betiful, or timels uld ever e om skny English guys wh synths, though the live rhythm sectn is sential to the song’s power, too. And as McClkey monstrat, you uld skip the wistful melancholy and (nerd) dance to “Enola Gay” jt as easily.

ORCHTRAL MANOVR THE DARK: ENOLA GAY

Emmanuel Elone: For an ’80s electronic song, “Enola Gay” is still more layered and sophistited than many electronic songs g out today. However, unrneath this upbeat song is a dark reference to the World War II bombg of Hiroshima, as McClkey croons “Enola Gay / You should have stayed at home yterday / Ah-ha words n’t scribe/ T he feelg and the way you lied”.

Bis that, “Enola Gay” is a sweet electronic song that’s textured, layered and multi-dimensnal, makg a song that almost everyone n fd somethg to enjoy. “Enola Gay” is perhaps the qutsential embodiment of their sound — a romantic epic told through two alternatg, and often tersectg, synthpop riffs, one a revolvg premonn and the other an ecstatic burst of shimmerg nostalgia.

“Enola Gay”, Orchtral Manovr the Dark’s (OMD’s) wonrfully dulgent synthpop classic named after the plane that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, has jt turned 40.

ORCHTRAL MANOVR THE DARK – “ENOLA GAY” (1980) (SGL GOG STEADY CLASSIC)

While the last 40 years have seen OMD produce multiple chartg rerds, break to Ameri wh Pretty Pk‘s “If You Leave”, and more recently, rerd the crilly acclaimed The Punishment of Luxury, ’s “Enola Gay” that most hontly ptur the band’s triumphant legacy. Synthizg tellectual lyrics wh popular sensibili, “Enola Gay” reflects bandmat Andy McClkey and Pl Humphreys’ efforts to brg the cerebral and often, monplace, to the mastream. More than any of their other songs, “Enola Gay” is evince of how OMD masterfully ptured the ncerns of the morn world and packaged them up such a way that they won over the mastream.

I’m here to talk to you about the 40th anniversary of “Enola Gay”, the lead sgle om your send album, Organisatn. The lyrics and tle of “Enola Gay” expose your love of history and efforts to make telligent pop mic. You followed up “Enola Gay”/Organisatn wh Dazzle Ships, and didn’t perform as well as you had hoped.

Tell me how this lks wh your recent remix of “Enola Gay”, the llaboratn wh Hot Chip, and puttg out the 12-ch vyl?

The human era lns and lns of years, when there are no longer homo sapiens on the pla. They believe now that you will be able to look back to the sediments, that’s if there’s a sentient beg that after , you’ll be able to look back and go, oh, that’s where the homo sapiens were. You n see where the homo sapiens were 200 ln years ago; ’s the Anthropocene era.

Enola Gay. Enola Gay 2007. That’s how I often always feel when to hearg OMD’s stunngly hypnotisg Enola Gay; ’s btersweet, melodic, and bathed a way ahead of s time melancholia so rich and pure and lightful.
