Artist Biography

"Yazoo" (known as " Yaz " in the U.S.) were an English synthpop duo from Basildon, UK.

Yazoo were formed in early 1982 by former " Depeche Mode " songwriter Vince Clarke (synthesizers) and English singer Alison Moyet (vocals) and was signed to Mute Records in the United Kingdom.

Their debut single " Only You " was released on 15 March 1982 and rose to number 2 on the UK charts. They also released two studio albums " Upstairs at Eric's " in 1982 and " You and Me Both " in 1983.

Shortly after the release of the second album Moyet and Clarke decided to break up. Moyet pursued a solo career while Clarke first founded (the short lived) " The Assembly " followed by the somewhat more successful " Erasure ".
