Last summer, Andy Bell<\/a> headed to Brooklyn to work on new music with Erasure<\/a> bandmate, songwriter and keyboardist Vince Clarke<\/a>. The band didn\u2019t have a concrete intention for a follow-up to 2017\u2019s World Be Gone\u2014 \u201c<\/em>[An album] is in the distance,\u201d Bell said<\/a> at the time \u2014 but a year later they\u2019re teasing Neon<\/em>, out August 21st via Mute.<\/p>\n

The 10-track album was written and produced by Erasure and recorded in Atlanta earlier this year. \u201cIt was about refreshing my love \u2014 hopefully our love \u2014 of great pop,\u201d Bell explained in a statement.<\/a> \u201cI want kids now to hear these songs! I wanted to recharge that feeling that pop can come from anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

This will be the 18th full-length album from the duo, and the first song, \u201cHey Now (Think I Got a Feeling),\u201d  certainly harks back to the type of upbeat dance tracks that shot them to pop stardom in the Eighties. They were a shock to the establishment in many ways when their gay-love track \u201cA Little Respect\u201d \u2014 on Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2018s list of 25 Essential LGBTQ Pride Songs<\/a> \u2014 became a Top 20 hit in the U.S. in 1988.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re doing music, you should use it for something and have substance,\u201d Bell once told Seventeen. \u201c<\/em>Being gay and open about it is my substance.\u201d<\/p>\n
