Depeche Mode Announce New Album, ‘Keepsake Mori,’ and Trip

Depeche Mode is back in duo mode. The Rock & Roll Hall of Popularity band is returning after the 2020 death of establishing keyboardist Andy “Fletch” Fletcher for its very first programs and album as a duo. The album entitled Keepsake Moriwill be the new-wave band’s 15th, after 2017’s spirit, and it’s out in spring 2023. The trip will begin around the very same time, on March 23, and consist of simply 10 dates in The United States and Canada leading up to Madison Square Garden on April 14. (From there, the band invests the summertime in Europe, which do not all of us wish to?) In a declaration, vocalist Dave Gahan and keyboardist Martin Gore stated the trip and album remained in Fletch’s memory. “After Fletch’s death, we chose to continue as we make certain this is what he would have desired, which has actually actually provided the job an additional level of significance,” Gore stated of the album. Gahan included, “Fletch would have enjoyed this album.” If you simply can’t get enough Depeche Mode, you undoubtedly will, too.
