Notes

Dave Gahan sung the vocals for the song 'Visitors' on Ben Garret's debut album 'Dark Young Hearts' under the moniker 'frYars'.

Ben Garret told NME:

"Basically, Luke was doing stuff with Ben Hillier on Depeche Mode's album and Dave came in while they were on down time, heard my music and really loved it and asked to sing on it," Garrett explained. "I'm really excited about it, and when I go over to America we might even do something live together."

Ben Garret told DM fansite Dave's Hidden Houses:

"I've never met Dave in person. Only on Skype. Luke Smith, who I produced my album with, was working as the programmer on 'Sounds Of The Universe'. All of the Mode heard the album and really liked it and Luke was mixing Visitors in New York on downtime in the studio and Dave gave his vocals to it as he liked the track so much. [...] I do feel that Dave's vocal was perfect for the track. A happy accident as it were. The song is about two men living in a house and going mad with each other. So it is appropriate that there is another male voice in any case. But it's a rather good male voice!"
