Erasure have announced details of their new album, 'Snow Globe', which is out on November 11. 'Snow Globe' is a collection of original compositions and seasonal classics, and follows 2011’s album, 'Tomorrow’s World'.
The first single, Gaudete, is Erasure’s take on the traditional Latin carol, which will be recognisable by many after Steeleye Span’s version in the early '70s.
“I haven’t actually heard him sing better,” Vince said of Andy stepping back into the booth. Andy added: “I found my inner choirboy again. I thought I’d lost him but he was there all along.”
Unlike the bells and whistles, glitter and tinsel sets that crowd the market come Christmas-time, 'Snow Globe' is possessed of something more in the wistfully, strangely subdued celebratory mould of recent seasonal albums by Tracey Thorn and Kate Bush.
"We managed to strip everything back to bare essentials," Vince said. “White Christmas almost has a drone all the way through it. I love that.”
Formed 28 years ago, the award-winning songwriting duo of Vince Clarke and Andy Bell unleashed on the nation a succession of both influential and chart-topping pop anthems of the ‘80s, ‘90s through to today.
