We’re thrilled to finally report that Depeche Mode are back in the studio. Working with a new producer, the band have just finished the first string of studio sessions on what is to become their 14th album.

Were not sure when the actual interview took place, but Martin L. Gore sat down for an hour interview with Rob Bell of The RobCast podcast and the episode featuring Martin was posted today. The two sat down in Martin's home studio and he gave Rob an insightful interview about the old days, success, and the possible future of Depeche. Like both Dave and Andy have said before the end of last year, he mentioned that the band plan to get together "in the next few weeks" (here in 2016) with the hopes that they will get started in April.
Now let's keep in mind Martin said these future plans casually...
