Biography
Blancmange () are an English synth-pop band formed in Harrow, London in 1979, and a two-piece for much of its existence, composed of Neil Arthur (vocals) and Stephen Luscombe (keyboards). It came to prominence in the early 1980s, releasing four UK top-20 singles: "Living on the Ceiling", "Waves", "Blind Vision" and "Don't Tell Me". Blancmange released three studio albums during that decade: Happy Families (1982), Mange Tout (1984) and Believe You Me (1985). The duo amicably broke up in 1986 but reformed in the late 2000s, and in 2011 released their fourth studio album, Blanc Burn. Luscombe left following the release due to ill health, and later died in 2025. Since then, Arthur alone has continued to perform under the Blancmange name, releasing over a dozen new studio albums along with a re-recording of the band's debut studio album, titled Happy Families Too... (2013). He has also been involved in a further three collaborative albums as Fader (with Benge) and Near Future (with Jez Bernholz).
