British stadium rockers Depeche Mode have released their fourteenth studio album, Spirit.
The album was preceded by the rousing single ‘Where’s The Revolution’. Frontman Dave Gahan explained to Billboard that Spirit echoes the political unrest of the current times.
“We recorded during the campaign. We were recording during the time when Brexit was happening and when we finally got the news.
“A lot of change, a lot of ‘Really?’-type stuff happening. But it’s been going all around the world, and this separatism, ‘I’ve got to keep mine, and get out of my way,’ and all the stuff we’ve been hearing for years about the one percent — ‘When are we going to see it trickle down?’ It comes up in ‘Poorman’ on this album.
“It’s an album that is reflecting a sign of the times”, he continues. “And it comes across in a very social way. I don’t think of songs in a political way.”
