At 56, Depeche Mode bandleader Martin Gore no longer feels the need to pull any lyrical punches. So he gets right to the prickly, political point on the band’s latest Spirit set, starting with its clickety-clacking rhetorical question of a lead single “Where’s the Revolution,” with a grim societal…

A várakozásoknak megfelelően az egy hónapos turnészünetet a Depeche Mode kiadvány-fronton történő mozgolódásokkal tölti. Egyelőre nincs sok konkrétum, de az már biztos, hogy Maya Jane Coles (aki az utolsó néhány koncerten volt előzenekar, így Kolozsvárott is sokan láttátok) készít egy remixet egy…

"KEYBOARD WARRIORS - ELECTRO-ROCK VETERANS COME OUT FIGHTING ON IRATE 14TH ALBUM : THEY SOUND AS IF THEY’VE BEEN RATTLED BY THE WORLD’S CURRENT CRITICAL CONDITION. Even when thundering the world’s stadia with their storm-cloud synthrock, Depeche Mode have always managed to make themselves feel like…

10/04/2017 By Steven G. Titley Depeche Mode? ‘No thanks. I mean its New Romantic, isn’t it?’ All synthesizer and drum machine. As Saxon were telling me back in 1981, it was ‘denim and leather’ that ‘brought us all together’ not blouses and leather. My musically-myopic metal obsession passed…

As Depeche Mode’s principle songwriter looks forward to playing in front of 70,000 people in their biggest ever UK show at the London Stadium, Tim Burrows talks to him about new album Spirit, his Essex roots and what it feels like to grow up as a British European If there’s one thing Depeche Mode…

Egylemezes közreműködésnek indult, de több lett belőle: pontosan ma 5 éve jelent meg a Soulsavers Longest Day című kiadványa, ami a beharangozója volt a The Light The Dead See című nagylemeznek. A korábban a Depeche Mode előzenekaraként feltűnő együttes aztán Dave második játszótere lett: azóta volt…

You have presented your new album "Spirit" in Berlin in a very intimate setting - intimate for the audience, but also for you. How was it for you?Martin Gore: In such an intimate setting, in which people are so close to one, is actually also strange for us. And so it was a bit odd for us, as it was…

Depeche Mode occupies a unique place among the constellation of synthpop acts that emerged from the UK post-punk scene around three decades ago. Since the release of Songs of Faith & Devotion in 1993, they’ve been entirely disinterested in the “pop” half of that portmanteau, creating instead a…

Part of what makes for a great late-period album for an elder alternative band like Depeche Mode is a degree of resignation. Originality remains important but forced innovation sort of comes across like the musical equivalent of a fifty-something wearing tight leather pants. Take Brian Eno, Wire or…
