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].

The new Erasure album, Snow Globe, is a collection of original compositions and seasonal classics. The forthcoming first single, 'Gaudete', is Erasure's take on the traditional Latin carol, which will be recognisable by many after Steeleye Span's version in the early 70s. Unlike the bells and whistles, glitter and tinsel sets that crowd the market come Christmas-time, 'Snow Globe' is possessed of something more in the wistfully, strangely subdued celebratory mould of recent seasonal albums by Tracey Thorn and Kate Bush. Not that 'Snow Globe' sounds like either of those albums of course, 'Snow Globe' is 110% pure Erasure!
