New Album IMPOSTER Out Now; Listen HERE

Multi-platinum selling, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted recording artist and songwriter Dave Gahan, along with long time musical partner Soulsavers (Rich Machin), share the music video for “The Dark End Of The Street, today. Watch it HERE. It is the opening track and latest single from their critically acclaimed new album, Imposter, available now. It can be heard here.
 
In this new video, directed by Richard Selvi, 3D photogrammic technology was used to scan Dave and insert him into the video’s intensely haunting and cinematic, CG-animated cityscape.
 
Earlier this week, Dave Gahan & Soulsavers joined The Late Late Show with James Corden for a candid interview about Imposter, along with a stunning and electrifying full band performance of their take on Cat Power’s “Metal Heart.” Watch it HERE.
 
The band recently wrapped a successful string of live performances in Europe, where they presented Imposter live and in-full in iconic venues such as London’s Westminster Central Hall, London Coliseum, Paris’ Salle Pleyel, and Berlin’s Admiralspalast.
 
Imposter continues to garner critical acclaim. As part of a profile interview, Variety wrote, “Like his previous records with the Soulsavers, the dominant musical coloring is provided by guitar, piano and gospel-style backing vocals, with Gahan’s voice given ample room to stretch.” Meanwhile, FLOOD summed it best, “the recordings are striking.
 
On Imposter, Gahan 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 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.
 
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. 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.
