Rögtön az elején el kell mondanom, nem vagyok Dave Gahan feltétel nélküli rajongója. Mint szinte minden korombelinek, természetesen nekem is megvolt a magam sötét, elektronikus korszaka, tiniként ott voltam az első budapesti koncertjükön is. Később mégis megváltásként tekintettem a Songs of Faith…

Three years after their first collaboration, Dave Gahan & Soulsavers are back together on Angels & Ghosts. Much like their last collection (2012's The Light the Dead See), they craft a comforting set of blues- and gospel-tinged slow-burners for wandering dusty roads and lonely deserts at…

Dave Gahan talks a lot. A lot. Sitting in a hotel room in New York’s Meatpacking district—a city he’s lived in for 18 years—the 53 year old digresses frequently, his words almost trying to catch up his thoughts as they form, one after another after another. But then again, he has a lot to…

Whisper it, but Dave Gahan is in the middle of something of a purple patch. Depeche Mode’s lauded, internationally successful ‘Delta Machine’ full length has been bookended by two collaborations with Soulsavers, the latest of which, ‘Angels & Ghosts’, arrived only a few days ago. “I…

Though we haven’t been treated to a new album from Depeche Mode since 2013’s Delta Machine, there’s been plenty of public activity from the veteran synth-pop makers of late. Back in the spring, founding member and main songwriter Martin Gore opted to go solo for a pleasantly plinking…
