Erasure's seventh studio album Erasure was produced by Thomas Fehlmann and Gareth Jones and released in 1995 by Mute Records in the UK and Elektra Records in the U.S.
A more experimental and introspective album, Erasure contained eleven, mostly mid-tempo tracks that differed from their past output of shiny, three-minute pop songs. Most tracks clocked in at five minutes or more, several contained long synth interludes, and guest artists included the London Community Gospel Choir and performance artist Diamanda Galás.
Although appreciated for its experimental nature, Erasure marked the beginning of Erasure's slide from the peak of their popularity in the mainstream music world. Coming off five consecutive number-one albums in the UK, this album failed to hit the top ten and two single releases also missed the UK top ten. After a successful top twenty debut on the Billboard 200 for their previous album I Say I Say I Say, Erasure disappointed some by peaking at number eighty-two and generating no Hot 100 singles. In Germany the album also peaked lower than previous albums, at number eighty-seven.
