Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode has announced his third full-length collaboration with Soulsavers (aka Rich Machin). The new album, Imposter, features covers of songs by PJ Harvey, Neil Young, Cat Power, Charlie Chaplin, Mark Lanegan, Gene Clark, and more. The record is out November 12 via Columbia. Find the tracklist and album cover below.
“When I listen to other people’s voices and songs—more importantly the way they sing them and interpret the words—I feel at home,” Dave Gahan said in a press release. “I identify with it. It comforts me more than anything else. There’s not one performer on the record who I haven’t been moved by.”
Imposter follows 2012’s The Light the Dead See and 2015’s Angels & Ghosts.
