It’s a busy week for Depeche Mode. Yesterday, news leaked that they would release their new single, Heaven, would be released on February 5.
Today, they officially announced their 13th studio album, Delta Machine, with a release date of March 26.
The album was recorded over the last year in Santa Barbara, CA and New York with Ben Hillier producing and Flood mixing. There will be a standard, 13-track CD and a deluxe edition with four bonus tracks and a 28-page hardcover book.
Martin Gore said of the release, “Writing this album was incredibly daunting as I wanted the sound of this collection to be very modern. I want people to feel good about listening to this record, to get some kind of peace. It’s just got something magical about it.”
Dave Gahan added, “With this release we’ve completely shifted our idea of how to create an album. When we hit a wall where we realize the album is beginning to sound too normal, we’ll mess it up and really give it that organic Depeche Mode Sound. Delta Machine is no different, and I can’t wait for all of our fans to hear it.”
The Heaven single will be premiered on Vevo on February 1 and will be released as a CD single and a CD maxi single.
