Memento Mori Double vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release. “Memento Mori” is Depeche Mode’s 15th studio album and its first as a two-piece lineup of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, following co-founder Andrew “Fletch” Fletcher’s tragic passing in 2022. Produced by James Ford, with additional production work by Marta Salogni, the album’s creation took place during the early stages of the Covid pandemic, resulting in themes inspired directly by that period. The album’s 12 tracks explore a wide range of moods and textures, from its ominous opening to its closing resolve, running the gamut from paranoia and obsession to catharsis and joy, and encompassing myriad points in between.
