dave gahan & soulsavers

Gahan’s reinterpretations feel like a self portrait made of found objects – each track, whether originally penned by mark lanegan, gene clark or charlie chaplin, paint a vivid picture, more refined than any singular songwriter.

That’s the joy of a *good* covers record – the key is not what the new singer brings to the song, but what the song brings to the singer. Gahan’s clearly been very careful in his selection and it has paid off – these 12 tracks create his most honest, open and finest record in years.
