Dave Gahan & Soulsavers Release Trailer for Forthcoming Album IMPOSTER

Dave Gahan & Soulsavers Release Trailer for Forthcoming Album IMPOSTER; Watch HERE.   Trailer features an early preview of first song “Metal Heart”, out October 8th. IMPOSTER to be released November 12th

Following the announcement of their new album Imposter,  Dave Gahan and Soulsavers have made available a first preview of the project, complete with intimate studio footage from the recording of the album and a sample of their version of “Metal Heart”; watch here. The full version of “Metal Heart,” written by Chan Marshall (Cat Power) and first released in 1998, will be released on October 8th.    Imposter takes listeners on a personal journey of 12 meticulously chosen reimagined songs from across genres and time periods, including selections from Neil Young, Bob Dylan, PJ Harvey, Charlie Chaplin, Cat Power and Mark Lanegan, amongst others. One would be remiss to refer to Imposter as a cover album. Rather, Imposter is a story of songs, which Dave Gahan & Soulsavers listened to, studied, absorbed, and gave a new life. All of the songs have deep meaning to Dave, making Imposter a reflection of Dave’s life – a story told by others, but in his own distinct voice.    “When I listen to other people’s voices and songs—more importantly the way they sing them and interpret the words—I feel at home,” Dave Gahan confesses. “I identify with it. It comforts me more than anything else. There’s not one performer on the record who I haven’t been moved by.” He adds, “I know we made something special, and I hope other people feel that and it takes them on a little kind of trip—especially people who love music and have for years.”   Imposter track listing: The Dark End of the Street Strange Religion Lilac Wine I Held My Baby Last Night A Man Needs a Maid Metal Heart Shut Me Down Where My Love Lies Asleep Smile The Desperate Kingdom of Love Not Dark Yet Always On My Mind  The recording of Imposter was done live as a ten-member band at the famed Shangri-La Recording Studio in Malibu, CA in November of 2019. This allowed for not only a more intimate collaboration than on previous Dave Gahan and Soulsavers projects, but let them truly absorb the atmosphere and have the space to breathe a different spirit into the tracks. In an interview with podcaster and media personality Chris Black, Dave noted, “This was the first time we were all in one space. It was kind of lucky [timing] as well… Arriving at Shangri-La every day, it was magical. We’d have coffee, go in, and work.”   Imposter is the collaborators’ third album, following their critically acclaimed 2015 release Angels & Ghosts and their first release, 2012’s The Light the Dead See. The album will be released in digital, as well as physical formats, worldwide on November 12th through Columbia Records.   Visit www.DaveGahan.com and Instagram.com/theimposter for additional album information and updates.
