Earlier this month I reported that Frankmusik (via his interview with the music website Wotyougot) was working on new music for Erasure's new album. Well now I have more news regarding their new full-length. Erasure's first album of new tunes in four years will be called Tomorrow's World, and was not only produced by Frankmusik (Far East Movement, Ellie Goulding) , but was mixed by Rob Orton..
"Tomorrow's World" was written in New York, London, and at Vince Clarke's cabin studio in Maine following a short break, which found Andy Bell recording and releasing his second solo album "Non Stop", and Vince Clarke reuniting with former Yazoo partner Alison Moyet for a recent tour. It was recorded in Maine, London and Los Angeles between January and June 2011, with Vince using his vintage collection of analog synths for the final touch.
This is beyond exciting news because Andy Bell, like Boy George and George Michael has been an idol of mine since I was a little kid and before I knew what gay was. The album will be released on Mute in the fall, and the 80's synth-pop duo will hit the road in the U.S. for the first time in five years on August 31 in Tampa for 25 dates. Also I recommend you keep an eye out for Frankmusik's new album Do It In The A.M. which will be released in September via Cherrytree/Interscope. To get your tickets head over to Ticketmaster.
