Historical Context

Erasure are a British synth-pop duo formed in London in 1985, comprising Vince Clarke (synthesizers, programming) and Andy Bell (vocals). Clarke is one of the most significant figures in British electronic and synth-pop music, having previously co-founded Depeche Mode and Yazoo (known as Yaz in North America) before forming Erasure. His songwriting and production work across these three acts — all launched from the same mid-1980s UK electronic music scene — represents an extraordinary body of work spanning multiple decades.

The Tomorrow's World tour (2011) supported Erasure's twelfth studio album of the same name and was followed by the Total Pop! tour later in 2011. The Short Circuit: A Festival of Electronica, held at the Roundhouse in London on May 14, 2011, was a landmark event presented by Mute Records celebrating the label's history and legacy. Clarke performed at the event twice — once as part of Erasure, and once as part of a reunited Yaz/Yazoo alongside Alison Moyet — wearing this jacket throughout, making it one of the few documented garments in music history worn during performances with two separate iconic acts on the same evening.
