Erasure Announce 20th Studio Album Radio!! Radio!!

Erasure have set the title of their 20th studio album as Radio!! Radio!!. Andy Bell wanted to convey a sense of urgency, which led to the inclusion of four exclamation marks in the album name. Musically, this new album represents a transition away from the synth-heavy sound of their 2020 record, The Neon, moving instead toward instrumentation based on piano and guitar.

In the 40 years that have passed since the release of their first album, Wonderland, Erasure have never split up and have never taken a break. Ahead of their upcoming tour, Vince Clarke will serve as remote musical director, and Howard Rider will play keyboards on stage during the live performances.

Prior to his work in Erasure, Vince Clarke was a founding member of Depeche Mode. Following his time with Depeche Mode, Clarke worked alongside Alison Moyet in Yazoo, writing the songs Just Can't Get Enough and Only You. Additionally, Erasure once appeared dressed as Frida and Agnetha in the cover video they filmed for the Abba song Take a Chance on Me.
