After the departure of principle song writer Vince Clarke from Depeche Mode the band turned to Martin Gore to pen the bands second full length album, “A Broken Frame”. It was quite a departure from their poppy sound to a something much darker. It wasn’t well received but it laid the ground work for what would become the bands new sound. Fast forward to 2015 and a greek synthpop duo named Marsheaux revisits the entire album, track by track, and breaths new life into these classic tracks. They’ve laid their breathy vocals and punched up the rhythms on these covers and re-introduce us yet again to the brilliance of Depeche Mode.
Also love this cover as well:
David Harks – Open Arms
Just discover David Harks courtesy of an audiodrums listener Thorfinn. Thanks Thorfinn for the drop on this artist!
David Harks has such a good vibe to his music, it’s laidback, but not boring, insightful but not trite, and all wrapped up in electronic goodness. Think a blend of electronic pop, R&B vocal stylings, and a splash of a tropical flavor.
Also feeling this track as well:
Fotonovela – Justice (feat. Sarah Blackwood from “Dubstar”)
Energetic synthpop with the lead singer Sarah Blackwood (of Dubstar and Client fame) lending her talents.
