Depeche Mode have confirmed that they will
release their 13th studio album next year.
The follow-up to 2009's Sounds of the
Universe will be released in March 2013 via Columbia Records.
Bandmember Martin Gore said: "I am
very happy with how the album turned out.
"The music has a similar vibe to
Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion, and I think the songs on the album
are among some of the very best we've done."
Frontman Dave Gahan added: "The album
has a very organic and direct feel to it. It's not a blues record, but it
definitely has a soulful vibe.
"During the recording process we
really tried to get the elements of performing and the live show into the album
more."
The as-yet unnamed album will feature new
songs written by Gore and Gahan.
Depeche Mode support the release with a
European tour starting on May 7, which takes in 34 shows in 25 countries.

If it even came slightly close to the brilliance of "Violator", I'd be pleased... Jx
