Depeche Mode Finish Work on New Album


Depeche Mode has finally finished work on their new album, the first since 2005's Playing the Angel and due out in April. There had been some controversy and speculation regarding Dave Gahan's lyrical contributions (specifically, whether he would pen songs himself, as he did on PtA, which had always been Martin Gore's territory). It seem now that some songs have been co-written by Gahan, although what that means exactly is unclear.

Sources say the album will feature less guitars and mark a return to the band's more synth-heavy pre-Songs of Faith and Devotion era.
