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: I was shocked when we played Baltimore on the True Colors Tour as to why in the hell is there no museum or guided tour dedicated to the early works of John Waters and the fabulous Divine. If they can set a programme like The Wire there, why can’t we have a Divine museum? With Odorama!

I agree, completely overlooked…John Waters is amazing!
I sincerely don’t understand why some folks (straight or gay) have a necessity of using their intelligence to make extremely shocking things like “Pink Flamingos” movie. I’m not like Sally Field, but I dislike John Waters all the way.
have several vinyl records at home yet….love them….
thanks Bobby “O”
