Seeing as that Depeche Mode will be pretty much everywhere in the coming months, it might be a good idea to start familiarizing yourself with the sounds and styles of the electro legends’ forthcoming studio album, Sounds of the Universe.
Of course, as you probably are so thoughtfully pointing out, how does one do that when the album isn’t due out for another two months, April 21st to be exact? Good question – and you can’t just yet. But you can get a start now that the album’s first single, “Wrong” has been debuted live and subsequently hit YouTube.
Over the weekend, Depeche Mode officially debuted the dark, yet incredibly catchy number at the Echo Awards in Germany. While we’ll wait to make our final judgment until the Sounds of the Universe hits shelves, let’s just say, “Wrong” should make for a pretty stellar opener when Dave Gahan and Co. take the stage at Grant Park in August.
