Depeche Mode have confirmed a release date for their album ‘Spirit’, as well as announcing that a new single will be released this week, according to NME.

The follow up to ‘Delta Machine’ will be released on 17 March, and was produced by Simian Mobile Disco’s James Ford. The lead single, and first taster of new music in four years, will drop this week with ‘Where’s The Revolution’ premiering on Friday, 3 February.

“We’re exceptionally proud of ‘Spirit’’s sound and energy, and we’re excited to get back on tour to share it with our fans around the world,” said frontman Dave Gahan when they announced the record along with a lengthy tour last year.

As well as adding that they’ll be working with legendary photographer and director Anton Corbijn on the visuals for the album and tour, they’ll be hitting the road to take in 32 shows in 21 countries throughout the year.
