The new Bomb The Bass album, Future Chaos, is out in May!

According to sources close to the band, Ben Hillier will do a repeat stint as producer for Depeche Mode on their forthcoming album. Hillier, who’s CV includes names like U2, Smashing Pumpkins and more recently The Rascals and The Horrors, also helmed Mode’s most recent full length studio output, “Playing The Angel”.

Depeche Mode have finally set a date for when work starts on their forthcoming album, which will hopefully see the light of day in a years time. The band had a meeting just before Easter to make a rough time line and listen to demos. The meeting took place in Santa Barbara, and was also attended by the yet-to-be-announced producer of the album.

Baron “Tons Of Money” Kessler, Depeche’s manager since the mid-90s, has gone together with Coldplay manager Dave Holmes to form Good Boy Productions - the first project being a Canadian festival called Pemberton Festival. Coldplay headlines this years installment. Any guesses who’s heading next years?
