A Little Respect for Erasure
Tonight I’m going to Irving Plaza in NYC to see one of my favorite bands of all time — Erasure! In case you have no idea who the hell I’m talking about, they brought us 80s synthpop hits like “Oh L’amour”, “Sometimes”, and “A Little Respect”. Believe it or not, Erasure, like a lot of other 80s acts, also has had a lot of great music in the last 10 years that has remained on the fringe and really only seems to have been followed by die-hard fans.
Their new album, Nightbird, is being billed as a return to the pop style that made them famous in the 80s, but I personally think that the sound is a lot richer and more layered than the earlier stuff, which mainly consisted of a lot of bleeps and blips. I definitely recommend checking out the new album. My favorite tracks from the new album are “Here I Go Impossible Again” and “All This Time Still Falling Out of Love”.
I’m sure tonight will be a little crazy, a little campy, but I’m sure it’s going to be lots of fun.
