Torsten In Queereteria is the third solo album by Andy Bell (Erasure) performing as alter-ego Torsten, a gender-fluid, semi-immortal who, having loved and lost many during an unnaturally elongated life, is left haunted by his lifetime of bittersweet memories. Torsten In Queereteria is a unique pop / musical theatre collaboration between Erasure singer Andy Bell, poet / playwright Barney Ashton-Bullock and musician Christopher Frost. This new album, three years in the making, is structured around fourseparate themed ‘Acts’ which deal with different aspects of both Torsten’s life story and his self-realisation; each song designed as if a postcard insight into a particular hot-spot of memory.
