Erasure is an English synth-pop duo formed by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell in 1985, known for melodic synth-driven pop and a long recording career.

Formed in 1985, the duo consists of songwriter/producer Vince Clarke and lead vocalist Andy Bell. They are publicly known for synth-pop hits across the late 1980s and 1990s and for albums such as Chorus, The Innocents and Wild!. Vince Clarke was previously a founding member of Depeche Mode and Yazoo. Notable songs include "A Little Respect", "Always" and "Chains of Love".

DeBaser reviews praise Erasure's strong melodies, Andy Bell's vocals and Vince Clarke's production. Chorus is frequently highlighted as a high point. Reviews trace the duo's evolution from bright '80s synth-pop to more mature electronic balladry. Overall reception on DeBaser is favorable.

For:Fans of synth-pop, Erasure followers, pop music listeners and album reviewers

 the last great commercial success for Erasure, "Chorus", dated 1991.

  Discover the review

 “Am I Right?” is their most beautiful song, in my opinion (though not just mine), also considering the “Erasure” album of ’95 in its entirety.

  Discover the review

 Experimental work, albeit in a territory that remains well-defined — that of pop — it causes partial bewilderment among their fans, who after pushing the previous four albums to No. 1 on the UK charts, do not take this one beyond No. 14.

 Ultimately, "Wild!" is the album of reflection on Erasure.
