World Beyond LP

Album Details

Following on from the release of World Be Gone in May of 2017, Erasure (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke) will be releasing a companion piece on March 9, 2018 via Mute. World Beyond is a completely re-recorded version of World Be Gone featuring classical interpretations of the tracks. Late last year, Andy Bell travelled to Brussels to re-record the album with The Echo Collective, a Belgian based classical music ensemble who have worked with A Winged Victory for the Sullen, Stars of the Lid, Johann Johannsson and more. World Beyond still sees the band in an altogether more thoughtful and reflective mood. On “World Be Gone”, recent political upheavals are given a thoughtful examination and, as highlighted on the painted artwork showing a ship’s masthead rising up from being submerged in the stormy waters, Erasure are looking ahead, towards an expectant future which points towards love as evidenced the buoyant album closer “Just A Little Love”: “Just a little love, not the hate that’s calling. Just a little love and the walls start falling”. World Beyond will be released on CD, colored vinyl LP, and digitally on March 9, 2018 via Mute.
