Cape Town - Iconic, multi-platinum selling musical pioneers Depeche Mode released their much-anticipated new album, Spirit, on Friday.
The album comes after the band released the first single at the beginning of February, their first new music in 4 years.
Spirit marks the band’s first collaboration with producer James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco (Foals, Florence & The Machine, Arctic Monkeys) and serves as the follow up to the band’s blockbuster 2013 album Delta Machine which debuted at No 1 in 12 countries. The album has already garnered critical acclaim in early previews, with Q Magazine calling Spirit "the most energised Depeche Mode album in years".
Says Gahan of the release: "We are exceptionally proud of Spirit, and we look forward to sharing it with everyone. With James Ford and the rest of the production team, we've made an album that I believe is truly powerful, both in its sound and its message."
And now in a SA exclusive, Channel24 brings you a live stream of the band’s The Telekom Street gig taking place in Berlin on Friday. The show will start at 21:00 our time on Friday night.
