Which British band released the single “Pandora’s Box” in 1991?

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark released the single “Pandora’s Box” in 1991.

Usually abbreviated OMD, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark is an electronic pop band formed in the northwest of England. “Pandora’s Box” appeared on the group’s album Sugar Tax and became one of its recognized songs from the early 1990s.

The title invokes the Greek myth’s famous container, but the song is not a setting of Hesiod’s poem. Its lyrics and presentation use Pandora as a cultural image, linking the mythological name with modern pop songwriting and the band’s electronic sound.

The song is sometimes confused with similarly titled releases by other artists because “Pandora’s box” is a common phrase in English. The specific 1991 single belongs to OMD. The band’s name is written out in full as Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.
