‘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.
