Iconic synth-pop duo Erasure (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke) will release a new studio album titled The Violet Flame on Tuesday, September 23, with a worldwide tour this autumn.

The first single from the 10-track album will be released in mid July. The LP, which will be available for pre-order at www.pledgemusic.com/erasure beginning at 5 am EST on Wednesday, May 28, will be available alongside exclusive Erasure bundles including single, deluxe and box set formats as well as a VIP ticket bundle which will feature the album, premium ticket and meet and greet with the band.
