The Neon, a new album that is a synth-filled celebration of life and love, earlier this month. The Neon is "a place, but not a specific place.
It’s a place that lives in the imagination, that we put in the real world. It could be a nightclub, a shop, a city, a cafe, a country, a bedroom, a restaurant, any place at all,” according to press notes from Andy Bell and Vince Clarke (Erasure), who released their first album, Wonderland, in 1986.
Songs from the new album, including “Nerves of Steel” and “Tower of Love,” have that early Bell-Clarke feel that makes you want to head to the dance floor of the nearest queer club.
