The depeche-mode.com website has made a round up of all the Depeche Mode news bits they could lay their hands on and things look bright for the 'black swarm' herd. The band will hit the studio in March to work on a few pre-produced songs that songwriter Martin Gore has been working on together with Sie Medway-Smith (Erasure, Client, Depeche Mode ...) in Gore's home studio in Santa Barbara (USA). Add to that a possible inclusion of some Dave Gahan material. A release date has also been projected so it seems since EMI Spain informed that Mute are hoping to have the album ready 'at the end of this fiscal year', in time for Christmas. A tentative date of 'late November' has been communicated to retailers and media in Spain via the IFPI owned operation Promusicae. A tour would be announced in the early fall of 2008, with pre-sales in September or October. The actual tour would not start until early 2009. Lots of news, but all unconfirmed although depeche-mode.com is known for having respected and trustworthy sources.
More news as we get it.
