Yazoo

Yazoo (known as Yaz in North America) were an English synth-pop duo from Basildon, Essex, formed in late 1981 by former Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke (keyboards) and Alison Moyet (vocals). The pair released two albums, Upstairs at Eric's and You and Me Both. Yazoo played a key role in shaping the emerging genre of synth-pop, particularly in the mid-1980s house music scene. The duo split in May 1983, and later reunited for a tour in 2008.
