Es ist soweit: am Freitag, den 3. Februar, erscheint mit „Where’s The Revolution“ die neue Single von Depeche Mode. Es ist die erste Auskopplung aus „Spirit“, dem 14. Album der britischen Band, das am 17. März beim Sony Music-Label Columbia Records erscheint. Bereits im Rahmen der Pressekonferenz in Mailand im vergangenen Herbst hatte die Band einen Teaser des Songs präsentiert. Es ist die erste neue Musik von Dave Gahan, Martin Gore und Andrew Fletcher seit vier Jahren.
Für die Aufnahmen zu „Spirit“ arbeitete die Band erstmals mit dem Produzenten James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco), unter dessen Regie in den vergangenen Jahren u.a. Alben von Florence & The Machine, Arctic Monkeys und Foals entstanden waren. „Spirit“ ist der Follow-Up zum 2013 erschienenen Album „Delta Machine“, das in zwölf Ländern von null auf eins an die Spitze der Charts setze. In ersten Vorab-Reviews wird das neuen Album bereits gefeiert, das Q Magazin bezeichnet „Spirit“ z.B. „das spannendste Depeche Mode Album seit Jahren“.
Begleitend zur Veröffentlichung des Albums begeben sich Depeche Mode auf eine umfangreiche Welttournee. Im ersten Teil der Konzertreise, für den der Kartenvorverkauf bereits begonnen hat, wird die Band bei 34 Shows in 21 Ländern vor über 1,5 Millionen Zuschauern in ganz Europa auftreten. Tourstart ist am 5. Mai in Stockholm. Nach zahlreichen Konzerten in Stadien in ganz Europa setzt die Band die Tournee nach dem Sommer in Nord- und Südamerika fort. Alle Termine finden sich auf http://www.depechemode.com.
Depeche Mode wurden 1981 gegründet, verkauften bis dato mehr als hundert Millionen Tonträger und traten vor dreißig Millionen Fans weltweit auf. Ihre wegweisenden und stilbildenden Veröffentlichungen in den vergangenen dreieinhalb Jahrzenten bescherten der Band neben großem kommerziellen Erfolg auch Legenden-Status als Musik-Pioniere und Erneuerer. Generationen von Bands und Musikern verweisen auf Depeche Mode als Inspiration, Einfluss und Vorbilder.
Das 13. Album der Band, „Delta Machine“, erreichte in über zwanzig Ländern die Top Ten, darunter Großbritannien und die USA. Die Tour im Anschluss an die Veröffentlichung lockte weltweit mehr als 2,5 Millionen Fans in die Stadien und Arenen. Im Herbst 2016 veröffentlichte Sony Music die lang erwartete Anthologie „Video Singles Collection” auf drei DVDs mit mehr als vier Stunden ihrer richtungsweisenden Musicvideos.

Press Info:
Multi-platinum selling, Grammy Award-winning recording artist Dave Gahan, along with musical partner Soulsavers, will release a new album October 23rd. Entitled ‘Angels & Ghosts’, this is the collaborators’ second album, following their critically-acclaimed 2012 release ‘The Light the Dead See’. The album will be released in digital, as well as physical CD and vinyl formats, worldwide on October 23rd through Columbia Records. The “utterly riveting” album boasts nine original tracks, all written by Dave Gahan & Soulsavers.
The album launches today with the online premiere of the moody, cinematic anthem “All of This and Nothing”, can be heard below.
An evolution from their first album, ‘Angels & Ghosts’ proves to be a markedly stronger and more hard-hitting body of work. Listeners can expect to be led through an aural mix of dark, brooding sounds, elements inspired by gospel and blues, and the stark beauty that has become a signature of Dave and Soulsavers’ works. Dave Gahan’s emotionally powerful voice has never sounded better, and drives the album forward over a landscape of meticulously crafted instrumentation.
A transatlantic collaboration, the writing process started with Dave Gahan and Soulsavers’ Rich Machin exchanging demos and ideas from their respective studios in lower Manhattan and rural England. They then recorded the album with additional musicians in studios around the world, including classic locations such as Sunset Sound in Los Angeles and Electric Lady in New York. The end result is a vibrant, live-sounding album, and proof of the “instant and obvious fit” Machin felt writing with Gahan.
To fully showcase the powerful, live nature of the album, Dave Gahan & Soulsavers will bring the project to life in a series of six special shows in iconic, intimate venues across the US and Europe. Starting October 19th at the first show in Los Angeles, Dave Gahan & Soulsavers will perform as a ten-piece band, with shows in New York, London, Berlin, Paris and Milan to follow. Tickets for all shows will go on sale September 18th and select shows will be broadcast and streamed for fans worldwide. Full dates and venues are listed below
Live Dates:
October 19th – Los Angeles, CA – The Theatre at Ace Hotel
October 22nd – New York, NY – Town Hall
October 26th – London, UK – Shepherds Bush Empire
October 30th – Berlin, DE – Tempodrom
November 2nd – Paris, FR – La Cigale
November 4th – Milan, IT – Fabrique

Listen to the intense, pulsing remix of the new electronic Martin Gore track ‘Pinking’, taken from his critically acclaimed solo project MG and remixed by Swedish producer, DJ and musician, Christoffer Berg.
Listen below
‘Pinking’ is one of the many highlights on Gore’s evocative 16-track electronic instrumental album, MG, which is out now on Mute. The album is creates an absorbing and emotional sonic landscape, and was described by VICE as “a textural, complicated album”. Explaining the appeal of a purely instrumental record, Martin says, “I am aware of the power of pure music and the emotions that can be created by musical atmospheres and that is what I wanted to capture with this project.”
Christoffer Berg is well known for his programming work, perhaps most notably on Depeche Mode’s 2013 album ‘Delta Machine’, where he worked closely with Martin, exploring his vast selection of vintage synthesizers and gear. Christoffer also remixed the VCMG track ‘Aftermaths’.
