"Ghosts Again" is the first taste of the band's highly anticipated album Memento Mori. Dave Gahan says that he feels the single "captures this perfect balance of melancholy and joy."

Depeche Mode also announced more details behind Memento Mori, which is the band's first record as a duo. Though only Dave Gahan and Martin Gore remain in the band, Fletch was around for part of the creation and had greenlit the album title Memento Mori prior to his untimely death last year. The album's 12 tracks have different moods and textures and the theme of death and loss featured throughout the record.
Memento Mori features 12 songs and will arrive on March 24th - one day after the band launch their world tour in support of the album in Sacramento.
Pre-orders for Memento Mori are open now and there are several options to choose from including exclusive double red vinyl (band store), crystal clear double vinyl (Amazon exclusive), standard double vinyl, deluxe CD, standard CD, cassette, and digital download.
