Today, Soft Cell, singer and frontman Marc Almond and multi-instrumentalist and producer Dave Ball, are set to release Danceteria, which is their sixth and final studio album that will be released on September 25, through Republic of Music. The record is a big, classy and playful farewell to 47 years of Marc and Dave making music as Soft Cell and features career-defining performances from our electronic pop legends.
“Danceteria is a love letter to New York in the early ’80s. The time we spent in New York – where we recorded our first three albums – shaped us both as artists and people. To celebrate this period is a fitting farewell to Dave Ball and the final Soft Cell studio album,” said Almond.
In light of the album announcement, the duo has shared, which is a joyous, celebratory burst of disco pop and as the album opener and a statement of intent. It is Soft Cell at their very best with Almond’s iconic vocals soaring over Dave’s masterful John Barry-esque minor chord progressions. There couldn’t be a more fitting disco banger to pull back the dusty velvet curtain and beckon you into the heady, romantic and deliciously dark world of “Danceteria.”
