In an amazing and surprising career move
and, in his own words, "the biggest challenge of my career so far", Erasures Andy
Bell is Torsten The Bareback Saint.
Andy sings in character as an age-defying
polysexual in an all new solo album that is the soundtrack to the theatre show
of the same name. A theatre show that is headlining the Assembly - Venue One,
George Square at the 2014 Edinburgh International Fringe Festival and which,
even before opening, has been already been named in The Times newspaper as being
in their Times 2 ''Top Ten Pick Of The Fringe''.
Torsten The Bareback Saint is
a highly theatrical and moving song-cycle of lyrical postcards from the
hotspots of an outsiders memory; memories from a life lived as a semi-immortal,
learned sensualist. Andy Bell as Torsten sings deeply affecting expositional
songs that incrementally illuminate his extraordinarily mysterious life as a
man disconcerted by his own bizarre experience of the nature of passing time.
The new Erasure album, The Violet Flame, will be released on September 22nd.

He did a little preview of this project when he appeared on stage with Eve Ferret back in April. Sounds intriguing! Jx
