New Depeche Mode!!! Yay!

Playing The Angel, an astonishingly fresh, exuberant release, marks the 25th anniversary of Depeche Mode, the innovative, influential recording unit. The band have sold upwards of 50 million records worldwide and amassed a staggering 38 hit singles in the UK. With each successive release they have managed to progress musically and lyrically, establishing themselves as, alongside U2, the most consistently successful British band of the post-punk period. Playing The Angel, released October 18, conveys a sense of optimism, of renewed vigour, of pleasure at what they’ve achieved. But it’s still quintessential Mode. Listen to the first single, “Precious,” for a taste, and don’t miss Depeche Mode’s November – December U.S. tour.
