Depeche Mode: New Album coming, set for Feature Artist Thursday 3/5!
Unlike most of their counterparts who dominated the pre-grunge world of Alternative music alongside them, DEPECHE MODE refuses to become a "retro act."
Although they've got a great catalog of music from the '80's and '90's, they continue to release relevant, interesting music even in 2009.
And why not? The indie/alt world is full of bands that have obviously been influenced by DEPECHE MODE. And let's face it, their style (which has continued to update and evolve through the years, but is still very much rooted in synth-pop) is even more "in fashion" than it has been for years!
The new album will be called SOUNDS OF THE UNIVERSE, and is scheduled for release internationally on April 20, and April 21 in the US. We have several new tracks from it here at RADIO FREE CRUZE, and they're VERY GOOD!
So...it only makes sense to feature DEPECHE MODE as our spotlight for this week's FEATURE ARTIST THURSDAY (3/5) on the RFC! We'll cram in as many Depeche tracks into the mix as the Digital Millenium Copyright law will allow us to. You can look for us to feature the band's big hits, as well as album tracks, B-sides, remixies, and maybe even a few live tracks just for good measure. And OF COURSE, you'll hear the new tracks from SOUNDS OF THE UNIVERSE that I mentioned!!
So I hope you'll spend a big chunk of the day with us!
Thanks...Cruze, RFC
