1980s electronic music icons Erasure (Vince Clarke and Andy Bell) have announced a new album, World Be Gone, and shared a brief album trailer. World Be Gone is due out May 19 via Mute. Below is the trailer, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as the band’s tour dates.

A press release describes World Be Gone as such: “Their new album sees the award-winning songwriters in a more reflective mood, giving the world and recent political upheavals a thoughtful examination and, as highlighted on the painted artwork showing a ship’s masthead rising up from being submerged in the stormy waters, looking forward to the future.”

Vince Clarke elaborates in the press release: “Obviously the current political climate lends itself to lots of ideas.” Andy Bell adds: “I think there’s an under swell of opinion, and people are slowly waking up. I’m hoping that people will take the album in a positive way, that they’ll use it as optimistic rabble-rousing music.”

I’m Not Your Man Tracklist:

1. Love You to the Sky
2. Be Careful What You Wish For!
3. World Be Gone
4. A Bitter Parting
5. Still It’s Not Over
