Depeche Mode held a press conference today to announce the first details of their 2013 stadium tour - and they also offered us the first taste of their new album! The press conference was held in Paris earlier today and started with this video (below) of a new song that is most likely called 'Angel Of Love'. (update: it's just 'Angel' actually) It was revealed later in the question period that followed that it doesn't officially have a title yet - nor does their forthcoming new studio album (their thirteenth). They did however announce the full details of the European portion of next year's worldwide tour.
The 34 date tour covering 25 countries begins in Tel Aviv on May 7th and wraps up July 29th in Minsk. The full list of cities with ticket links can be found here on their official website: http://countdown.depechemode.com/ There will also be a North American leg to follow - but those dates are still a mystery for now.
So this untitled new song (let's call it 'Angel Of Love') is what one might call traditional Depeche Mode. It resembles their 1993 single 'I Feel You' a bit - particularly around 1:40 in. Martin Gore mentioned during the conference that he felt that the new material was a cross between 'Violator' and 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' - 'optimistic' he said. 'Dark' a fan countered - 'Not to me' he replied. You can watch the full interview/ question period m'here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09hgbZ8GPoM
No word yet on whether or not this is just an album track or the first official single (a nice acid techno remix would be sweet) but naturally I'll keep you posted... Enjoy!
