STAFF COMMENTS

Darryl says: Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan joins forces with Rich Machin AKA Soulsavers for an album of intimate, dark and sweepingly epic soundscapes.

ABOUT THIS ITEM

Soulsavers release their new album ‘The Light The Dead See’ through Cooperative Music/V2 Records. Featuring vocals and lyrics by Dave Gahan, the record is the follow-up to 2009’s critically acclaimed album ‘Broken’. Recorded at various locations and mastered at Abbey Road.

“There was no real script,” says the laconic Rich Machin of the extraordinary fourth album ‘The Light The Dead See’, a set of songs of majesty and momentum. “It just rolled and rolled; it was effortless.” Yet the writing was on the wall from the moment Dave Gahan stepped in to tackle vocal duties that this was going to be something very special. “We realised we were coming from the same place in so many ways,” adds Machin. “He’s really laid himself bare on this record, his performances are astonishing: he really is a terrific singer.”

Says Gahan, “Everything about it was relatively unplanned, surprising: a magical thing. We were a perfect match and I’m very, very excited about this record.”
