The story

Yazoo were an English synth-pop duo from Basildon, Essex, formed in late 1981 by Alison Moyet (vocals) and Vince Clarke (keyboards) after his departure from Depeche Mode. The pair released two albums, Upstairs at Eric's (1982) and You and Me Both (1983). Yazoo played a key role in shaping the emerging genre of synth-pop, and were particularly influential on the house music scene of the mid to late 1980s. The duo split in May 1983, with Moyet going on to launch a successful solo career and Clarke co-forming the Assembly and then Erasure. Yazoo later reunited for a tour in 2008.
