Milan. vocalist Dave Gahan wore this Tuesday gold shoes to announce a new studio album of the british band of synth pop Depeche Mode with their mates Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher, in a press conference in Milan.
Possibly journalists and fans imagined what was going to happen, in spite of the secrecy, but yet so many of you were moved to the Italian city from even abroad: in Germany, Portugal, or Hungary.
in Front of the hotel the band was greeted by many fans. “We’re not used to this at all,” said the vocalist and guitarist Gore sketching a smile.
But surely not referring to what happened during the more than 35-year history of the band, but the last few months, in which the three musicians came back together and to produce. “We were off a time,” said Gore.
the result will be The disk Spirit, the fourteenth of the band that will go on sale in the spring of 2017. The last to be released by the group was Delta Machine in 2013.
During the presentation, were offered a snack: will be something big, with those accustomed to electronic beats, catchy melodies and pop. For some, however, leaves a taste of something apocalyptic.
“Where is the revolution?” (Where is the revolution?), sings for example Gahan. Clear that these times of political turmoil did not go unnoticed to the music, says the keyboardist Fletcher. “It is very difficult to ignore it completely.”
however, none of the three revealed all the new features. “Work in progress”, what he called Gore, pointing out that the group is still working and the album is not finished.
Spirit will be produced by James Ford, who has worked for example with Florence and the Machine or the Artic Monkeys. Ford has managed to bring to Depeche Mode to another level, said Gahan.
how Will be this possible after so many years of success of the group? In the end, the three make music together since 1980, his group has sold over 100 million albums and has performed in front of more than 30 million people around the world, according to his agency.
Although not only the success accompanies the history of the band, but also the excesses, among them with drugs. In the meantime the members of the group lead a peaceful life in private, and now exceed 50 years.
“we Just like to make music, that unites us”, he told Gore, “we Could continue like this forever,” he added.
But naturalemente the band asks each time if you are still having chemistry between them. Apparently yes: The new album is even “more sexy” than the previous one, says Fletcher. “It will be just as good or better than the last, as we always try to”.
fans will have to wait until the european tour of the group, which will begin in may 2017 in Stockholm and it will take them two months later, the scenarios of the BBK of Bilbao, in northern Spain.
After a little more than half an hour the group came out of the press room, leaving behind the occasional disappointment. Gahan preferred to lift your shoe gold, but not agreed to, who asked him one of her famous hip movements. Maybe next year.
