After the Christmas and New Year holidays, Depeche Mode will start working on a new Depeche Mode album. The band, Daniel Miller, Jonathan Kessler and producer Ben Hillier are meeting in Santa Barbara. Ben Hillier has been producing, engineering and mixing a great number of artists over the years, artists such as Blur, Elbow, Clinic, Echobelly, Graham Coxton, Pulp, Erasure, Underworld, Suede, Smashing Pumpkins, Curve, U2 and New Order (is it going to be an indie pop album!?).
