The Oedipus Project
Invoking the spirit of the 60s with classic New Wave, the English trio The Len Price 3 have had a rollercoaster of a ride over the past 10 years.
They cut their chops in the pubs about an hour southeast of London and incidentally not one of the three is named Len Price.
“Swing Like a Monkey” is from their latest album Nobody Knows.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) rose to prominence in 1980 with the song “Enola Gay”. This synthpop gem was guaranteed to fill New Wave dance floors.
The band, originally founded by Andy McCluskey (vocals, bass guitar) and Paul Humphreys (keyboards, vocals), continued on and off for years, finally disbanding in 1996 only to reform 10 years later.
Their 2nd album since reformation, English Electric, is due in a couple of weeks.
“Metroland”, the new single, has that classic OMD sound.
