After enjoying some silence, Depeche Mode are coming back into our lives with a new studio album.
The veteran synth-pop group made the announcement today (October 11) at a press conference in Milan, where the band revealed they will release a new album called Spirit in the spring of 2017. This will mark Depeche Mode's first studio album since 2013's Delta Machine and their 14th overall. Spirit will be produced by Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford.
The new album announcement also came with news of a massive world tour next year called the "Global Spirit Tour." So far it does not have any North American dates, but you can see all the stops announced so far below.
"We're exceptionally proud of Spirit's sound and energy, and we're excited to get back on tour to share it with our fans around the world," Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan said in a statement.
