Depeche Mode will return next month with Memento Mori, their first album since 2017’s Spirit and the first since keyboardist Andy Fletcher’s death last year. The band, now officially just Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, has shared the new album’s lead single today. It’s called “Ghosts Again, and it’s… fantastic? Like better than I expected a latter-day Depeche Mode single to be?
The band agrees; in a press release, Gahan observes, “To me, ‘Ghosts Again’ just captures this perfect balance of melancholy and joy.” Gore adds, “It’s not often that we record a song that I just don’t get sick of listening to – I’m excited to be able to share it.”
