Soft Cell discography
This is the discography of Soft Cell, a British synth-pop duo consisting of Marc Almond and Dave Ball who rose to prominence in the early 1980s. The duo broke up in 1984 after releasing four albums, but reunited in the early 2000s for a series of live dates and released an album of new material in 2002. The group reunited again in 2018 for a supposedly farewell UK concert accompanied by a host of musical and video releases, including a career-spanning box set and a single., but subsequently changed their minds and played several further gigs and festival spots in the UK.
This reunion spawned a new album and a slew of singles, with a new album due for release in 2026.
