Depeche Mode To Release New Album In March 2013

Depeche Mode are set to release their 13th studio album in March 2013 on Columbia Records. 

"I am very happy with how the album turned out," comments DM’s Martin Gore. "The music has a similar vibe to Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion and I think the songs on the album are among some of the very best we've done." 

The band has announced that the new album will contain brand new tracks written by Gore and Dave Gahan. Gahan reveals, "The album has a very organic and direct feel to it. It’s not a blues record, but it definitely has a soulful vibe. During the recording process we really tried to get the elements of performing and the live show into the album more." 

The band gave fans a glimpse into the making of the new album in October when they released the following video clip featuring new music (http://smarturl.it/dmcollage). Additional album details will be disclosed in the coming weeks.

Following the release of their new album, Depeche Mode will embark on a European tour, kicking off in Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park on May 7. A full North American tour will follow, with details to be announced shortly.

Depeche Mode Confirm Tour, Announce New Album

As was expected, Depeche Mode have confirmed that they will release their 13th studio album and embark on a globe-spanning tour next year.

As previously reported, the tour will begin on 7th in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The announcement was made at a special press conference in Paris at 12.30pm UK time, which started with a demo of an unnamed track as a little taste of what they've been up to for the last 6 months. The three members of Depeche Mode, Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Andy Fletcher, appeared on stage before taking questions from the audience of media and fans.

Watch the video collage aired during the Depeche Mode press conference below.

Produced by Gore and Ben Hillie, the yet-untitled new album will contain 20 songs described as a cross between "Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion."

Frontman Dave Gahan said "we're really excited with this record that we made and we think that you're gonna like it too."

Martin Gore said: "I'm very happy with the new album and I think there are at least about 3 or 4 songs that are up there with some of the best that we've ever done."

"I could say that there's a couple of songs that Martin has written on this record that for me to sing as well, I'm definitely most excited about. I might say one of two in particular, you know, the occasion that happens when you really feel moved by a song and don't matter how many times you sing it or trying perform it, there's some songs that do that for you... it's quite rare too I think, because the special moments that you wait for is why you write, you try to get to that moment and sometimes you touch on there, sometimes you don't," David added.
