Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark premiered another song from their forthcoming full length The Punishment of Luxury. The title track its accompanying animated video is the band's commentary on indulgence in 2017. Andy McCluskey's explains:
"Most people in the Western world are materially better off than their predecessors ever were and yet we are unhappier. Now we have many possessions we don’t need because we’ve been persuaded to buy. This is the punishment of luxury."
