The Depeche Mode co-founder returns with his first solo album in over a decade.
Martin Gore will release a self-titled solo album under the name MG on April 28 via Mute. MG is a 16-track instrumental LP, and it was recorded at his home studio in Santa Barbara.
“I wanted to keep the music very electronic, very filmic, and give it an almost sci-fi like quality,” he said in a press release. “Music is a necessity for me. I go into the studio at least five days a week, every week, so once I had the idea and the template, the process was quick and fun.”
