- Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, and Vince Clarke were young kids from the small town of Basildon, England before becoming the band known today as Depeche Mode. Their fifteenth studio album, ‘Memento Mori’, reminds listeners that everything ends...but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Ahead of the album's release, Depeche Mode sits down with Zane Lowe to reflect on their journey from kids to music legends. The two share that with the help of Daniel Miller from Mute Records, they were able to become one of the most influential bands to arise from the 80s. They also share that this new album will be supported by a world tour, trekking across 75 countries.

Watch Part 2 of Zane's interview with Depeche Mode here:
These gentleman are among the most powerful conveyers of human emotion via songcraft. Period.
Dave is such a self reflecting, classy, articulate gentleman. This band has never fit a mold and you know when you hear a song, it's THEM. You can see here the band is rejuvinated and Martin and Dave have a closer brotherly relationship.
This is the best interview I´ve seen since 1990, deep questions, you can see the guys even surprised and talking out of the box, going out of the script, really enjoyable. This is the kind of interview you expect when they make important announcements.
As a fan of Depeche Mode since Speak & Spell in 1981, can I just give a big shoutout to Zane Lowe for being so enthusiastic, patient, and actvely listening during this interview and telling the right stories and asking the right questions? The whole atmosphere of this conversation was just incredible.
I watched lots of their interviews and even when they were very young they were humble and gentle, unlike many other musicians of their ranking. They don’t try to preach, or try to talk some messianic nonsense like they are all that… they don’t pose, they don’t have this aura of self importance and fame… just normal polite, respectful people who are grateful for their success.
I haven't seen such PROFESSIONAL interview with them in AGES. Intelligent, rich, intelectual, fun, exciting. All those "journalists" asking them dumb questions at the tour announcement events should take note, or actually plenty of notes. Great work, Zane!
The one thing I dislike about this interview is that it's only 19 minutes. Man, I could listen for a few hours of this.... is there more to this???
One of my favorite things about DM lyrics is that the lyrics to a song can mean different things to you depending on where you are in your life; teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s.
You can tell that Dave and Mart have gotten a lot closer. They seem to really enjoy each others company. Excited for this upcoming tour and album.
We are blessed to still have them
I'm probably the 10 000th person to say this but seriously this band's music is the soundtrack to my life. Fell for them as an awkward 11 year old tween when I first heard "People are People", seen them in concert at least 12 times now, met Martin and Fletch during the World Violation tour and now I'm a 50 year old eagerly anticipating the new album and tour. Dave, Martin, if you happen to read this, Montreal is waiting for you with bated breath and much love!
Dave and Martin are the most nice people one could ever meet. So soft spoken, they are only 2 members now, but their personality and charisma is so big, that you feel they are all there, they still give that DM experience, been a fan since the beginning... every person who ever met them or went to see them on tour, is so lucky and blessed 💙💙💙 I wish them more years of creativity and success 💚💚💚
Dave: Doing most of the talking.
When you go to a Depeche Mode concert you go to church! It’s an amazing experience that lifts you and you enjoy the music and all the people that are their they are in someway family!
It makes me love their music more because they seem to be genuine and good people.
The looks on Dave and Martin's faces when you pointed out that they "got away" with the words in the chorus to "Everything Counts" was priceless! I don't know if they've ever actually had it acknowledged like that before! Similar to the way I point out "Who uses words like "debauchery" in a pop song, these days? during conversations about why I consider myself their #1 fan or revere Martin as a lyricist.
Brilliant interview. Love how Zane is all of us DM fans here in a more articulate fashion.
"Memento Mori" is my fourth favourite Depeche Mode, after "Ultra", "Songs of Faith and Devotion" and "Violator". Such a beautiful record
Hands down, one of the greatest BAND
