ERASURE (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke) today announce a North American tour produced by Live Nation set to launch January 14, 2022 in Miami before wrapping up in late February at The Venetian in Las Vegas.
Bag Raiders will open each date with a DJ set.
The Neon is a place that lives in the imagination. It could be a night club, a shop, a city, a cafe, a country, a bedroom, a restaurant, any place at all. It's a place of possibility in warm, glowing light and this is music that takes you there.
Written and produced by Erasure, the album's initial sessions saw Vince and Andy reunite to work on the follow up to 2017's World Be Gone with a fresh optimism and energy, in part born from their own recent personal projects. Vince goes on to explain, "Our music is always a reflection of how we're feeling. Andy was in a good place spiritually, and so was I - really good places in our minds. You can hear that."
Taking inspiration from pop music through the decades, from bands Andy loved as a child through to the present day, he explains, "It was about refreshing my love - hopefully our love - of great pop. I want kids now to hear these songs! I wanted to recharge that feeling that pop can come from anyone."
The album's vocals were recorded in Atlanta, Georgia, with Vince joining Andy at the studio sessions, and the mixing was done by the band in London earlier this year. Photographs were shot at that time in the unique environs of Gods Own Junkyard, a gallery housing a huge collection of vintage neon. Andy enthuses, "I felt like it was being inside a virtual reality game. I loved that it felt like being in a different world. That's what I want our new album to convey."
