Depeche Mode will release their thirteenth studio album in March.
‘Delta Machine‘ is due out on March 25th and has been recorded during the past twelve months in Santa Barbara, California and New York City, and was produced by Ben Hillier with Flood on mixing duties. The first single ‘Heaven‘ will debut on VEVO on February 1st.
“Writing this album was incredibly daunting as I wanted the sound of this collection to be very modern,” Martin Gore has said. “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.”
“With this release we’ve completely shifted our idea of how to create an album,” Dave Gahan adds. “When we hit a wall where we realise 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 album will come in a standard CD format along with a deluxe edition that includes four additional new tracks and a 28-page hardcover book.
Meanwhile, a European stadium tour begins at Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park on May 7th, with a full 34 shows in 25 European countries subsequently booked. A North American tour is also promised, with dates set to be confirmed shortly.
