‘Doublespeak’ brings together Erasure’s Vince Clarke, Blancmange’s Neil Arthur and synth-auteur Benge for a sleek,synth-driven reinvention of eleven songs spanning four decades. Split between post-punk tracks, unheralded gems and pop classics, ‘Doublespeak’ is the great human songbook, synthesised.
Empathic vocals, bold arrangements and glowing analogue electronics turn familiar and forgotten songs into a personal, forward-looking electronic statement.
Features covers of tracks by Fad Gadget, Young Marble Giants, ABBA, The Sound, Carpenters, David Essex, The Magnetic Fields, Thomas Leer and Robert Rental, John Hartford, Ed Dowie and Laptop.
