Oh, l’amour! Andy Bell is back with a brand new solo offering. The Erasure frontman is releasing the techno-tinged Non–Stop (Mute) this week. The LP was co-produced by Bell and Pascal Gabriel (Kylie Minogue, Ladyhawke, Miss Kittin, Little Boots). Gabriel also helmed Bell’s previous releases as Mimó. Non-Stop‘s first single, “Call On Me,” pulses with a glittering electronic beat and features heavily processed vocals with an Italo-disco flair. It’s quite a departure from the romantic, falsetto-driven synth pop of Erasure, drawing inspiration from soul, techno, Tin Pan Alley and even opera. Bell will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our Q&A with him.
Bell: One of my favourite early 3D movies was Andy Warhol’s Flesh For Frankenstein. I saw it at the ICA in London. It’s very gory, but the opening sequence has a very Eastern European style as the coach winds its way through the eerie forest. Plus you get to see Joe Dallesandro in all his naked glory.
One reply on “From The Desk Of Erasure’s Andy Bell: “Andy Warhol’s Flesh For Frankenstein””
Horror movies aren’t my cup of tea. They gave me irc bumps indeed. Anyway I truly love the insanely funny “Rocky Horror Picture Show”, specially because of its great soundtrack.
