Erasure's eagerly anticipated acoustic album "Union Street" is to be released in the UK on the 3rd April 2006.
Named after the recording studio in Brooklyn where it was recorded, the album features a collection of the bands previously released songs, reinterpreted in an acoustic / country & western style.
Andy Bell revealed his thoughts about the album in an interview last year:
"I said a few years back (that) I would love to do a Country & Western album and this is kind of a half-half. It's done in the country style on some tracks and we got violins, cellos, all different kinds of instruments and it was really a pleasure to do it and rediscover some of the old songs that we thought could have been singles that never were.
It's just really different singing with acoustic instruments than singing with synthesisers. I think it's some of the best singing that I've ever done..." (http://www.erasureinfo.com)
The band are also planning a tour after the release of this album.
