About this album: A rumination on mortality and death, this project had its genesis during the COVID-19 pandemic. Developed and recorded after the 2022 death of founding band member Andy Fletcher. A lush, haunting, sometimes just-weird-enough album that harkens back to the best elements of new romantic/new wave/dark wave while mixing in a healthy enough dose of post-grunge industrial. A very self-aware album, and one of Depeche Mode’s best.
