DEPECHE MODE Released Gloom-Ridden ‘SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION’ Album 25 Years Ago…

Going back in sonic history looking for memorable albums…

21 March 2018

BAND: DEPECHE MODE

ALBUM: SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION

RELEASED: 22 March 1993 – 25 years ago…

ROLLING STONE wrote: “Song to song, Faith and Devotion showcases Depeche’s every, er, mode at its finest and adds a wee something — an intensifier, a surprise, the shocking but not unpleasant sound of frontman Dave Gahan actually singing. “I Feel You” has the twangy stomp of “Personal Jesus”; it’s ecstatically danceable. The soulful “Walking in My Shoes” does great things with backup singers and resentment. “Get Right With Me” experiments with scratching and chiming guitars, while “One Caress” sounds like the show stopper from a lachrymose Broadway musical. Songs of Faith and Devotion documents how Depeche Mode’s savvy justifies its worst instincts; like the band itself, it’s gloomy, pretentious and winning.”

TURN UP THE VOLUME says: ‘Pitch-black electro blues, midnight hour beats, heavy-hearted balladry and darksome reflections. MUST BE DEPECHE MODE!’…

THREE HIGHLIGHTS: I Feel You / Mercy In You / Rush

* I FEEL YOU – superb knockout…

* MERCY IN YOU – shadowy love vibe…

* RUSH – dynamic live rendition…

‘Where’s The Revolution’ by DEPECHE MODE

depechemode

British electro pop stars DEPECHE MODE will release SPIRIT, their new, fourteenth,
album on 17 March. It marks the band’s first collaboration with producer James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco (who worked also with Foals, Florence & The Machine, Arctic Monkeys) and serves as the follow up to the band’s blockbuster 2013 LP Delta Machine which debuted at #1 in 12 countries. More details about the new record here. Frontman Dave Gahan stated: “we’ve made an album that I believe is truly powerful, both in its sound and its message.” First single WHERE’S THE REVOLUTION refers to the troubled times we live in and regrets the lack of action by the people against the evil powers in charge. I guess their prayers are already, partly, answered by now with the massive Anti-Trump protests the past few weeks. Here’s the audio clip…
