Erasure: Drama!

The kick off single to Erasure’s 1989 Wild!, Drama! was a pretty, um, dramatic song which starts out slow and increasingly gets chaotic, complete with a “jury” comprised on (get this) the Jesus and Mary Chain (yep, it was them chanting in the background since they were in the studio next door). It’s a fun track, with scathing, witty lyrics. So many people laugh and dismiss Erasure (well, they were quite flamboyant), but their contribution to synthpop is nothing to sneeze at. Vince Clarke was in Depeche Mode, Yazoo, and The Assembly after all.
