"Delta Machine" is the upcoming thirteenth studio album by electronic music pioneers DEPECHE MODE. Set for release twenty years to the date from the release of their album "Songs of Faith and Devotion", the album was recorded in 2012 in Santa Barbara, California and New York City.


"Heaven" was released as the album's lead single, leading many fans to expect some sort of much-delayed follow-up to "Songs of Faith and Devotion", but "Heaven" sounds nothing like the rest of the album. It's a record filled with contradictions and surprises. There are moments of intricate beauty, songs which sound like DEPECHE MODE recycling their best bits through a thoroughly modern filter, and tracks that echo their early eighties synthpop roots.

The blues that Gahan wanted to showcase is undoubtedly here, but it's a uniquely "Depeche" take on the blues. Musically, the whole thing is dense, crammed with ideas, tracks evolving frequently from basic beginnings to completely unexpected conclusions. The truth is that "Delta Machine" feels like a follow-up to more or less everything that this band have done across their thirty-odd year existence, which is no bad thing at all.

'Delta Machine' comes out ou March 25th by Sony. Album will be available as a CD, 2CD contains a bonus disc with four tracks, as well as a 28-page hardcover book including photos by Anton Corbijn & Limited 2LP Vinyl+CD.
