A deep dive into OMD's 'Enola Gay'

I’m writing a series of articles where I contextualise and interpret some of the ‘songs that made us’. The first installment is a deep dive into Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's synthpop classic, ‘Enola Gay’. Of course, the song takes its name from the plane that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

Content warning: contains some graphic detail regarding the Hiroshima bombing and its aftermath. Read more of this blog post »
