Vince Clarke, the Ivor Novello-winning songwriter behind countless chart-topping pop songs as co-founder and member of Erasure, Yazoo, Depeche Mode and The Assembly, has – unbelievably – waited until now to share a solo album release with us.
As the album title suggests, Songs of Silence is a lyric-less, instrumental album, yet it manages to be hugely evocative. The album has a sober ambient beauty about it, unique characteristics that put it in a category of its own.
Songs of Silence was recorded in his home studio in New York and features photography and artwork by the award-winning Magnum photojournalist Eugene Richards. The album began as a distraction during lockdown, a chance to finally get his head around the possibilities of Eurorack, a modular synthesiser format known for its addictive and limitless configurations.
