Soulsavers: The Light the Dead See (Mute, 5/22/12)
In May, Depeche Mode front-man Dave Gahan delivered powerful vocals on Soulsavers’ The Light the Dead See, a collaboration that bred soulful melodies with feel-it-in-your-bones lyrics. On its latest production, the British duo — comprised of Rich Machin and Ian Glover — painted a moving portrait achieved with a variety instruments, from strings to organs and choir-like backing vocals. Even Gahan’s harmonica can be heard on several occasions.
Now we get the video for “Take Me Home,” which follows a man’s sentimental, nostalgic journey at two very different points in his life.
