Tomorrow's World is the fourteenth studio album by English synthpop duo Erasure. The album was released through Mute Records[3] on 3 October 2011 in the UK, and 11 October 2011 in North America.[4]

Tomorrow's World was written in New York, London, and at Vince Clarke's cabin studio in Maine, between January and June 2011, following Erasure's short break, which found Andy Bell recording and releasing his second solo album Non-Stop, and Vince Clarke reuniting with former Yazoo partner Alison Moyet for the Reconnected tour. Clarke used his vintage collection of analog synths for the final touches. All songs are written by Bell and Clarke.[3]

The album was produced by Frankmusik and mixed by Rob Orton, who has previously remixed other well-known electronic artists such as Lady Gaga and Pet Shop Boys.

The first single from the album was "When I Start To (Break It All Down)", which was released on 23 September 2011.[5] It received its first UK airplay on BBC Radio 2's Ken Bruce show.
