out from the studio to the road, Soulsavers were invited to support <b>Depeche Mode</b> on the European leg of the band’s vast 2010
<b><i>Tour of the Universe</i></b>. Here, the seeds of <i>The Light The Dead See</i> 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.

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-top:.1pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Soulsavers – the music and production team of
<b>Rich Machin</b> and <b>Ian Glover</b> – have been a growing force since 2003’s debut
<i>Tough Guys Don’t Dance</i>. 2007’s <i>It’s Not How Far You Fall, It’s The Way You Land
</i>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
<i>Broken</i> 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
