New Album, Single And Tour Delayed Until 2005
Date Posted: 29th June 2004 - Source: EIS
The EIS announced today that the new album Nightbird and the new single Breathe will not be released in October as originally planned, but will now be released in January 2005. The tour that was planned for this autumn will now go ahead in the spring. This is due to the fact Vince will be unavailable for the next couple of months and that Andy is currently recuperating from a recent hip operation. By postponing the release dates, it will allow the band and Mute Records to be able to properly promote the new material. It was also confirmed that there will be a new Erasure release of some kind later this year, with the rumour being that the acoustics/country album of re-recorded old album tracks will be released early, having originally been due for release after Nightbird. The EIS '04 event will go ahead as planned.

It has been officially confirmed that the new Erasure album will be called Nightbird and will be released in October. The first single from this album will be called Breathe (and not Breath as mentioned below) and will also be released in October. The only hint of the sound of the album comes from Greg at the EIS who states "the album is classic Erasure sounding, yet with an evolved feel to it". I can't wait!

Steve Walsh, the producer of the upcoming new Erasure album, has stated the first single from the new album will be called Breath and that backing vocals are supplied by his wife Jill. Although this seems to be a reliable source, this all remains rumour until official word from the EIS.

A new feature has been added to the official EIS website, where Andy and Vince document their experiences in the recording studio as they continue work on the new album. Accompanied by photos, the Studio Diary gives a humourous insight into the band's working relationship and progress on the new release.

Update On New Album Progress
Date Posted: 10th January 2004 - Source: EIS
The band have revealed work on their new studio album is progressing well. Eight tracks have been completed and the band will soon be hitting the studio after writing more tracks. There are also provisional dates for a tour to promote the album believed to be in the autumn, but this is far from being confirmed. Hopefully 2004 will prove to be another great year for Erasure fans.
