Mute

Erasure is an English Synth-Pop Duo formed in London in 1985. The duo consists of Singer and Songwriter Andy Bell, and Songwriter and Multi-Instrumentalist Vince Clarke. They made their mark on the music scene with their debut single "Who Needs Love Like That?"
Throughout their career, Erasure has continued to captivate audiences with their unique blend of catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Their infectious sound has earned them a dedicated fan base worldwide.
With numerous hit singles and albums under their belt, Erasure remains one of the most influential acts in the synth-pop genre. Their innovative approach to music production sets them apart from other artists, making each release a highly anticipated event for fans.

Please note, some Mute issues also carry an EMI logo. This is not a label and EMI should not be added as a label, it instead indicates that Mute was part of the EMI Group.

Founded in 1978 by [a=Daniel Miller], Mute (also known as [l36339]) releases various forms of music, with an emphasis on electronic and experimental pop. In May 2002 the label was acquired by the [l=EMI Group]. In 2010 Miller did an agreement with EMI to handle Mute as an independent label again, licensing the trademark from EMI via his company [l=Mute Artists Ltd.], but EMI kept the rights over Mute's back catalogue. After the EMI Group was dissolved, in 2012 [l206061] acquired [l636]'s back catalogue.

Branch offices exist in Germany ([l168349]) and in North America ([l36296]). 

Mute has spawned many regional and special-interest sublabels, some of which are still active. One offshoot, [l=Parallel Series], even became independent of [l636] Mute also operates Mute Bank Mail Order, which sells the label's merchandise directly to consumers. Mute Bank published two issues of [i]Mute Statement[/i], a softcover book that details the entire discography of the label and includes band profiles and photos of release artwork.

Another label strongly associated with Mute is [l=Toast Hawaii], run by [a=Depeche Mode]'s [a=Andrew Fletcher].

'Chorus' is Erasure's fifth studio album, released by Mute Records in 1991 and shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize in 1992. Not surprising when you consider how inventive it was, delivering four hit singles including the impossibly catchy 'Chorus' and the flamboyant live showstopper 'Love To Hate You'. • 'Chorus' proved that Erasure weren't just a 1980s act - they threw themselves into the next decade with a record so accomplished and current that it became their third UK Number One album in a row, achieving Platinum status. It also charted in Germany, peaking at Number 13. 'Chorus' hasn't been released on vinyl since its original incarnation in 1991. This release is part of Erasure's 30th anniversary campaign and is pressed on 180 Gram vinyl with original artwork and packaging.
