Snow Globe

The new Erasure album, Snow Globe, is a collection of original compositions and seasonal classics. The first single, 'Gaudete', is Erasure's take on the traditional Latin carol, which will be recognisable by many after Steeleye Span's version in the early 70s. Unlike the bells and whistles, glitter and tinsel sets that crowd the market come Christmas-time, Snow Globe is possessed of something more in the wistfully, strangely subdued celebratory mould of recent seasonal albums by Tracey Thorn and Kate Bush. Not that Snow Globe sounds like either of those albums of course, Snow Globe is 110% pure Erasure!
