Murmur 86 : Andy Bell of Erasure "Who Is It? It's Us."

SUBJECT : ANTHEMS

Sounds and songs can inspire us to be a part of something larger; to understand a context for our lives, our trials, our travails, our triumphs.  For over 30 years - as the "voice" of the seminal sonic duo Erasure - Andy Bell has proved more advocate than icon; more a delivery system for change, than intentional anthemic engineer.  And millions of fans across the world continue to hear him loud and clear; showing-up en masse, as does Andy, with pride.  Yet, though true anthems last over time, hearing them remains in the ear of the beholder.
