Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan will release his second solo album 'Hourglass in October. The Mute release is the follow-up to his 2003 solo album 'Paper Monsters which marked his debut as a full-fledged songwriter.

The LP earned critical acclaim worldwide - with Q magazine citing it as one of the Top 50 Albums of the Year - and spawned sold-out solo tours of the U.S. and Europe as captured on the 2004 live DVD release 'Live Monsters.
