Erasure's Vince Clarke on His John Lennon-Inspired Christmas Song
FUSE TV - Erasure's Vince Clarke on His John Lennon-Inspired Christmas Song
After co-founding seminal '80s groups Depeche Mode and Yazoo in the early '80s, keyboardist Vince Clarke went on to form the influential synth-pop duo Erasure with Andy Bell. For their 15th album, the UK hitmakers crafted Snow Globe, a secular-minded, minimalist Christmas album that stands apart from the usual holiday fare (we included the album's first track on our 15 Best Christmas Songs of 2013 list).
Fuse recently chatted with the synth-pop pioneer about his love for the stop-motion Rudolph TV special, his distaste for Christmas music in general and how John Lennon inspired a track on Erasure's new album.
