1980s electronic music icons Erasure (Vince Clarke and Andy Bell) are releasing a new album, World Be Gone, on May 19 via Mute. Previously they shared a trailer for the album. Now they have shared a lyric video for the album’s first single, “Love You to the Sky.” Listen/watch below, followed by the band’s tour dates.

A previous 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 elaborated in the press release: “Obviously the current political climate lends itself to lots of ideas.” Andy Bell added: “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.”
