Following a six-year long gap without new music and the traumatic loss of a band member, iconic dark wave pop veterans Depeche Mode enter their fifth decade as recording artists with a true testament of strength. However, one can’t help but wonder whether this is actually the end of their unique journey. Lifelong Depeche Mode fan Norman Fleischer takes a closer look at the band’s 15th studio album and the circumstances that come with its release.
Swedish neoclassical artist and composer Sofia Nystrand, aka Vargkvint, releases "Stillhetens hav II", the first single from her forthcoming solo album "Månens Hav" out in June via LEITER. Translating to "sea of silence", the gently swelling song slowly submerges you in its ambient sound.
