Synth Legends Unleash Doublespeak: Covering Classics with a Fresh Spin

Vince Clarke reveals the secret to Doublespeak's debut album, an 11-track journey through synthpop covers. The trio, featuring Blancmange's Neil Arthur and producer Benge, approached tracks like Depeche Mode's 'Everything Counts' by stripping them down to their core melodies.

The process was all about finding parts and rhythms around the foundation of each track, Clarke explains. It's a method he's honed through years of remixing and collaboration with Arthur, who's known for his work with Depeche Mode and Blancmange. The resulting album is both a nostalgic tribute to synthpop's heyday and a fresh take on familiar classics.

Doublespeak's debut marks a new chapter in the careers of these electronic music legends. With their unique blend of nostalgia and innovation, Doublespeak is set to win over fans of synthpop and beyond.
