Erasure’s Vince Clarke has announced that he’ll be releasing his debut solo album, Songs of Silence, on November 17th via Mute. Along with the announcement, he has shared the album’s first single, “The Lamentations of Jeremiah.” Stream the song below.
Spanning 10 tracks, Songs of Silence will be an ambient instrumental album, forged by experimenting in the studio during the extended downtime of the pandemic. Clarke — whose compositions with Erasure and Depeche Mode have already earned him a place in the annals of pop history — began tapping into the possibilities of Eurorack, a modular synthesizer that can create a seemingly limitless number of sounds. The result was a flow of creativity that eventually blossomed into a full-fledged album.
Pre-orders for Songs of Silence are ongoing. See the artwork and full tracklist below.
“I could have gone on forever, I could have not stopped,” Clarke said of his creative method in a press statement.
