Depeche Mode's Martin Gore Announces Solo Album MG, Airs "Europa Hymn"

Depeche Mode co-founder, Martin L. Gore has announced that he will release his new electronic instrumental album titled simply 'MG' in April 28 Mute Records.

The 16-track album was recorded at Gore's home studio in Santa Barbara, Calif, following Depeche Mode's 2013 tour. Pre-order the album here.

Talking about the album in a press release, Gore said: "I wanted to keep the music very electronic, very filmic, and give it an almost sci-fi like quality. Music is a necessity for me. I go into the studio at least five days a week, every week, so once I had the idea and the template, the process was quick and fun."
