Music: Rock/Pop Yaz w/ Psychedelic Furs

  • Yaz_large

As a songwriter, Vince Clarke was the driving force behind Depeche Mode's early seminal singles and would later write ebullient camp anthems for Erasure — but his effortless melodies never found a more perfect foil than Alison Moyet. The pair, dubbed Yaz, is more human than the Human League and more consistent than Soft Cell, embodying everything great about '80s synth-pop. "Don't Go," and "Only You" earned spins from top-40 radio, new-wave clubs, and progressive DJs leaning toward disco's twilight. This, however, is most Americans' first chance to see the duo live. It was far too long a wait, but as those brain-burrowing synth lines ignite, it's worth it.
