Depeche Mode unveils new dimensions of “My Favourite Stranger” with today’s digital release of five new remixes of the track hailed by Allmusic for its “pulsing menace” that “builds to discomfiting yet alluring levels of anxiety.” The latest series of reimaginations of a song from the universally acclaimed Memento Mori (Columbia Records), the newly released “My Favourite Stranger” remixes are by Boris Brejcha, Ela Minus, Long Island Sound, Sunken Cages and Al Wootton.
Meanwhile in the physical world, Depeche Mode announces the launch of the Memento Mori White Label Remix Series, a monthly drop of 12” vinyl singles building on the previously digital-only remixes of Memento Mori ’s singles. The series will debut with the November 10 release of “Ghosts Again,” the first of these limited edition, individually numbered pieces. Pre-orders are now open for the Memento Mori White Label Remix Series, which will be available exclusively at https://lnk.to/depechemodestore/ in the U.S., and at select physical retailers in Europe.
On the live front, the third leg of Depeche Mode’s Memento Mori World Tour continues to play to capacity crowds and ecstatic reviews. The band returns to New York tomorrow for an October 21 date at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, to be followed a week later by the tour’s second stop at Madison Square Garden on October 28. With recent performances described by NOLA.com as “the best of Depeche Mode from back then, delivered with all the power and passion of Depeche Mode now” and by the Houston Chronicle as “a sharing of spirits and energies, with each other and the crowd that so clearly still adores them,” the tour’s second North American run will continue in arenas across the continent before wrapping with a mid-December four-night stand in Los Angeles. The band will then return to Europe at the start of 2024 for an additional round of European dates following last summer’s sold-out stadium tour. See below for a full list of dates.
Having sold more than 100 million records and played to more than 35 million fans worldwide, Depeche Mode remains an ever-evolving and singularly influential musical force. Depeche Mode released its acclaimed 15th studio album, Memento Mori , on March 24, 2023 alongside the launch of the Memento Mori World Tour, which has since played to well over two million fans and has been extended into 2024 due to overwhelming demand. An indelible inspiration to fans, critics and artists alike, Depeche Mode continues to forge ahead, with the Memento Mori album and tour representing the newest chapter of a peerless and ongoing legacy.
