Soft Cell will release Nostalgia Machine as the next single from their Top 10 LP ‘*Happiness Not Included’.
The duo returned to the charts earlier this year with their fifth LP – Soft Cell’s first in two decades – and off the back of its success they’ve announced its latest single.
Described by Marc Almond as a “let your hair down moment,” Nostalgia Machine will be released on CD and 12” vinyl.

The former also includes radio edits of Bruises On All My Illusions and Soft Cell’s solo version of Purple Zone, along with new track Gemini Lounge, while the vinyl includes 12” editions of Nostalgia Machine – plus dub mix – along with Purple Zone and Happy Happy Happy.
In a review of the album, Retro Pop said ‘*Happiness Not Included’ “boasts 12 fabulously Soft Cell numbers, laced with Marc Almond’s lyrical wit and underpinned by standout instrumentation from Dave Ball.”
‘*Happiness Not Included’ is available now.
Meanwhile, Soft Cell are set to hit the road this summer as they take their ‘Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret’ 40th anniversary tour Stateside.
The shows will feature the band’s iconic debut album played in full, along with a selection of songs from the rest of their catalogue.
The tour starts August 23 in El Cajon, and then hits Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, NYC and Toronto.
It follows the group’s UK 40th anniversary tour, which hit venues across the country throughout November 2021.
