Records; New York, NY; January 24, 2013) – </b><b><span style="color:black">Depeche Mode
</span></b><span style="color:black">have announced they</span><span style="color:black"> will release their highly anticipated 13<sup>th</sup> studio album, entitled
<b><i><u>Delta Machine</u>, </i></b>on <b>March 26<sup>th</sup> </b>worldwide via
<b>Columbia Records</b>. The album, recorded over the last year in Santa Barbara, California and New York City, was produced by
<b>Ben Hillier</b> and mixed by <b>Flood</b>. In addition to the album announcement, Depeche Mode
</span>have also confirmed that the video for the first single <b>“Heaven”</b> will debut on
<b>VEVO</b> next <b><u>Friday, February 1<sup>st</sup></u></b>. <span style="color:black">
Alongside a standard CD format, Depeche Mode will release <i><u>Delta Machine</u></i> in an exclusive Deluxe Edition with four additional new tracks and accompanied by a 28 page hardcover book including photos by longtime artistic collaborator
<b>Anton Corbijn</b> (please see track listing, as well as album and single configurations below).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Martin Gore said of the release, “Writing this album was incredibly daunting as I wanted the sound of this collection to be very modern. I want people to feel good about listening to this record, to get some kind
of peace. It’s just got something magical about it.” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Dave Gahan added, “With this release we’ve completely shifted our idea of how to create an album. When we hit a wall where we realize the album is beginning to sound too normal, we’ll mess it up and really give
it that organic Depeche Mode Sound. <i><u>Delta Machine</u></i> is no different, and I can’t wait for all of our fans to hear it.”
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Following the release of their new album, Depeche Mode will embark on a European stadium tour, kicking off in
<b>Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park</b> on <b>May 7<sup>th</sup></b>. They will perform 34 shows in 25 European countries, featuring appearances at Milan’s famed San Siro Stadium, the Stade De France in Paris, and Moscow’s Locomotive Stadium before wrapping up the
European leg of their tour in Minsk, Belarus on July 29. A full North American tour will follow, with details to be announced in the coming weeks.<o:p></o:p></p>
