    mmm I just don’t get it, I don’t think I came out at the right time. But I will give it another try.

    The album may not carry the sort of dance-fused electro-pop magnificence they’ve made before, but moving away from the more ‘expected’ type of pop song you think of when Erasure crops up in conversation seems to have worked wonders.

    The Neon nestles the duo back into their musical comfort zone when they’re exceedingly capable of more.

    The Neon is stacked with what Erasure does best: Sharp melodic hooks, efficient, hip-shaking beats, and yearning lyrics that both relate and motivate.
