OMD kicked off their 2013 North American tour Friday night in Vancouver.

The long-running British new wave band is touring in support of new album English Electric. The record is the follow-up to 2010’s History of Modern and OMD’s 12th album to date.

English Electric was written, recorded, produced and mixed by OMD – Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys. The record is said to be a return to form for the band whose 1980 hit “Enola Gay” was resurrected for last year’s Olympics Opening Ceremony.
