Depeche Mode’s fourteenth studio album, ‘Spirit’, was released in 2017. That year, Gahan told Rolling Stone how the record had been inspired in part by seeing what the band considers to be global devolution.
“I wouldn’t call this a political album,” Gahan said, “because I don’t listen to music in a political way. But it’s definitely about humanity, and our place in that.”
