Dave Gahan: I have written 6-7 songs, Martin 13 or 14. Second session soon? 12/05/2012
More from a Norwegian article:
"I have written 6-7 songs, Martin 13 or 14, and we'll see which ones we're going to include on the album. I think 3 or 4 of my songs will be recorded. The album seems to have a strong blues feeling. Not exactly like "Violator" and "Songs Of Faith And Devotion", but definitely more direct. We'll be careful not to overproduce this time. Extra sounds aren't necessary. If the melodies are good, they do not need more. "Sounds Of The Universe" was a little overproduced, too smooth, too much was going on."
