Erasure return to their signature upbeat synth pop sound with Shot A Satellite, the second single from their 18th album The Neon.
The song, reminiscent of old Hi-NRG tunes with sci-fi synths and a disco beat, tells a space-age love story. “You shot a satellite/To catch a man alive/You spun a web of love for me,” the band proclaims.
The Neon, the duo’s 18th full-length album, was written and produced by Erasure and recorded in Atlanta earlier this year. “It was about refreshing my love — hopefully our love — of great pop,” Andy Bell explained in a statement. “I want kids now to hear these songs! I wanted to recharge that feeling that pop can come from anyone.”
“Our music is always a reflection of how we’re feeling. Andy was in a good place spiritually, and so was I – really good places in our minds. You can hear that,” Clarke said in addition.
Erasure’s The Neon is out on Aug. 21 via Mute Records.
