Notes
From the depechemode.com press release:
We started work on this project early in the pandemic, and its themes were directly inspired by that time. After Fletch's passing, we decided to continue as we're sure this is what he would have wanted, and that has really given the project an extra level of meaning.
— Martin Gore – depechemode.com
Dave Gahan and Martin Gore explain the creation process of the album during the 2022-10-04 press conference:
Gahan: "We got together the first time in, just for a couple of weeks, I guess a few months ago now?"
Gore: "Yeah, something like middle of July I think it was. One thing I think is important to say, is that all of the songs, and even the album title, was kind of decided before Andy passed."
A postcard of the album artwork and lyric excerpts from 'Ghosts Again' was sent to fans who signed up for the countdown timer that was available on the depechemode.com website starting on 26 January 2023. More information about the countdown and scans of the postcard are available on the song's page.
