After 40+ years and countless hits, Depeche Mode is still hungry to push their sound forward, not content to “just be a greatest hits band,” as guitarist/lead songwriter Martin Gore said earlier this year. When the rumblings of new music surfaced, the anticipation was massive, and their fifteenth album, “Memento Mori”, did not disappoint. “Ghosts Again” captures the group where they are today — now, and for the first time, a duo, following the death of founding member and keyboardist Andy “Fletch” Fletcher in 2020, shortly before album recording was set to begin.
The track is a powerful groover, with rich lyrics that combine to evocative effect. With so much that happened within the family, it’s beautiful to see these legends continue to grow, evolve, and just get better with time — ever finding grace in darkness.
