The influential and critically acclaimed band, comprised of Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Andy "Fletch" Fletcher, had previously spent its 30-year career with Warner Music labels Sire and Reprise and EMI's Mute and Capitol. Depeche Mode has notched six Billboard 200 top 10s, including the No. 1 "Songs of Faith and Devotion" in 1993. The group has tallied six top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, led by the No. 8-peaking "Enjoy the Silence" in 1990. On Alternative Songs, the band has scored four No. 1s.
In a press release about the deal, Gore provided some clues as to the direction of their 13th album. "I am very happy with how the album turned out," he commented. "The music has a similar vibe to 'Violator' and 'Songs of Faith and Devotion' and I think the songs on the album are among some of the very best we've done."
Added Gahan: "The album has a very organic and direct feel to it. It's not a blues record, but it definitely has a soulful vibe. During the recording process we really tried to get the elements of performing and the live show into the album more."
