Depeche Mode‘s upcoming live album, “Memento Mori: Mexico City“, includes four previously unreleased songs from the “Memento Mori” sessions as bonus tracks. A rumination of mortality, “In the End” is a pretty terrific Depeche Mode song, all midtempo mood as they sing “We’re weightless / Floating endlessly / We’ll be dust again / In the end” over layers and layers of very cool-sounding synths. How did this not make the album?
DEPECHE MODE: M is an expressive and dynamic cinematic experience built around footage from the band’s three sold-out Mexico City Foro Sol Stadium shows on the 2023-2024 Memento Mori Tour. The feature-length film takes audiences on a musical and spiritual journey, as the songs resonate in real time with fans, illustrating their timeless multi-cultural influence while delving into the profound connection between music, mortality, and Mexican tradition.
Coming up on October 28th is Depeche Mode: M, a documentary film from Mexican filmmaker Fernando Frias, a reflective chronicling of the legendary synth-pop band’s Memento Mori tour in 2023-24. In addition to the film, there will be two accompanying physical releases: The CD/DVD and CD/Blu-ray bundles of the Depeche Mode: M film and the CD/vinyl pressings of “Memento Mori: Mexico City” live album. Each of those will be released on December. 5th.
“At its core, our new film ‘M’ is about the deep connection between music, culture, and people—and Fernando Frías, who directed and conceived the film, did a beautiful job telling that story that through the lens of Mexican culture and our shows in Mexico City,” said Dave Gahan.
“Memento Mori: Mexico City” is available as 2-CD and 4-LP vinyl formats, and both feature exclusive live photos from the Foro Sol shows. The Depeche Mode: M DVD and Blu-ray sets come with a full “Memento Mori: Mexico City” concert film.
