STADIUM TOUR W/ ROBBIE WILLIAMS IN THE SUMMER 

ERASURE(Andy Bell and Vince Clarke) today announce details of their seventeenth studio album,World Be Gone, out on Mute on19 May 2017.
 

World Be Goneis the follow up to 2014's The Violet Flame, and follows the band's recent 30th anniversary celebrations. 

Their new album sees the award-winning songwriters in a more reflective mood, giving the world and recent political upheavals a thoughtful examination and, as highlighted on the painted artwork showing a ship's masthead rising up from being submerged in the stormy waters, looking forward to the future.

Explains Vince Clarke,"Obviously the current political climate lends itself to lots of ideas",Andy Bell continues,"I think there's an underswell of opinion, and people are slowly waking up. I'm hoping that people will take the album in a positive way, that they'll use it as optimistic rabble-rousing music."
