London

Blancmange is a British synth-pop duo formed in London in 1979. Consisting of Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe, they achieved success in the early to mid-1980s with hits like "Blind Vision," "Don't Tell Me," and "Living On The Ceiling." Despite their initial popularity decline and the disappointing performance of their third album, "Believe You Me," Blancmange reformed in 2006. They released a new album titled "Blanc Burn" in 2011 but Luscombe left due to health issues. Since then, Neil Arthur has continued to perform under the Blancmange name.

Back In Stock

Esteemed British electronic outfit Blancmange return with Private View. Originally from the UK’s post punk DIY scene, Blancmange found success in 1982, long player Happy Families selling Gold in the UK, and its 3 singles becoming international hits. They went on to have 7 Top 40 hits and 70 weeks in the UK album charts. Long-standing admirers include Moby, John Grant and Honey Dijon, who states that “British synth pop was hugely influential in the burgeoning house music scene and Blancmange was a big part of that.”

40 years and 16 albums later, Blancmange have re-signed to London Records with the captivating and inspired Private View, melding futuristic electronics, Neil Arthur’s unmistakable vocal hooks, and songs spanning buoyant and joyful to dark and brooding.
