Memento Mori by Depeche Mode
Memento Mori is an album by Depeche Mode, released in 2023. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 16 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Ghosts Again”, on 15 lists with a best position of #2.
Memento Mori, Depeche Mode's first album in six years, arrived on 24 March 2023 through Columbia and Mute, and it's the sound of a band carrying on as two. Andy Fletcher, co-founder and keyboardist, died on 26 May 2022, leaving Dave Gahan and Martin Gore to make a Depeche Mode studio album as a duo for the first time. The six-year wait since Spirit is the longest of their career.
James Ford produced, and the record is dark, polished synth-pop that sounds like it's been staring at mortality all night, Gahan's voice heavy with gravity and Gore's melodies flickering through the gloom. "Ghosts Again" led the way as the single on 9 February, with "My Cosmos Is Mine" streaming a month later, and the Memento Mori World Tour took it out on the road.
