Listen To The First Track Taken From The New Album ‘World Be Gone’ – 19 May 2017

May Dates Sold Out

Stadium Tour With Robbie Williams In The Summer

ERASURE (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke) have released the first track from their brand new album, World Be Gone, out 19 May 2017.

The track, which premiered on Chris Evans’ BBC Radio 2 programme, is Erasure at their swooning love struck best and will be available on the usual streaming sites from Friday 17 March.

World Be Gone, the band’s seventeenth studio album, is the follow up to the The Violet Flame (2014), and follows the band’s recent 30th anniversary celebrations.

World Be Gone sees the award-winning songwriters in a more reflective mood, giving the world and recent political upheavals a thoughtful examination and, as highlighted on the painted artwork showing a ship’s masthead rising up from being submerged in the stormy waters, looking forward to the future.

Explains Vince Clarke, “Obviously the current political climate lends itself to lots of ideas”, Andy Bell continues, “I think there’s an underswell of opinion, and people are slowly waking up. I’m hoping that people will take the album in a positive way, that they’ll use it as optimistic rabble-rousing music.”
