Depeche Mode Finish New Album

• 19th Dec 2008

Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan has confirmed that his band have finished work on their new album. It's not got a title yet, but it's expected to be released next year. The frontman told Pop And Hiss: “We've completed the record. There might be a couple of bits and pieces we've got to clean up, but I feel really good about the fact that we're finished”.

Talking about the LP's content, he added: “I feel like [the record] is [about] looking outside and a yearning for somehow coming together. The world is changing. Watching Obama getting elected was great. We watched it on TV in Santa Barbara and I get goosebumps thinking about that still It's going to take a long time, but I think some of that same feeling, that sentiment [of hope] is in the work”.
