SOULSAVERS
NEW ALBUM THE LIGHT THE DEAD SEE MAY 22
LYRICS AND VOCALS BY DAVE GAHAN





Soulsavers will release their highly anticipated fourth studio album The Light The Dead See through Mute (US/Canada) on May 22nd. Featuring vocals and lyrics by Dave Gahan, the record is the follow-up to 2009's critically acclaimed album Broken.





[cid:image002.png at 01CD2F61.943CFB10]Venturing out from the studio to the road, Soulsavers were invited to support Depeche Mode on the European leg of the band's vast 2010 Tour of the Universe. Here, the seeds of The Light The Dead See were sewn. With Gahan penning lyrics for the music and recording his own vocals in New York, then Machin building up the results into fully-formed and arranged epics, the international project was a case of "chemistry working". The album was mastered at Abbey Road earlier this year.



"There was no real script," said Rich Machin of the album. "It just rolled and rolled; it was effortless."



Added Dave Gahan, "Everything about it was relatively unplanned, surprising: a magical thing. We were a perfect match and I'm very, very excited about this record."

Soulsavers - the music and production team of Rich Machin and Ian Glover - have been a growing force since 2003's debut Tough Guys Don't Dance. 2007's It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land brought their dark flair to a wider audience. The inimitable Mark Lanegan served as primary singer, though there were also vocal contributions from Will Oldham and Jimi Goodwin. In 2009, third album Broken confirmed that Soulsavers were moving away from early electronica to earthier guitars, use of space and what Machin described as "a soulful twist". The album featured Lanegan once again, as well as other guest vocalists including Oldham, Jason Pierce, Richard Hawley, Mike Patton and Gibby Haynes. Clearly, there was no shortage of acclaimed singers ready to lend their lungs to Soulsavers' stirring, seductive, soothing or startling creations.
