Depeche Mode have released the first single off their forthcoming album Memento Mori.

“To me, ‘Ghosts Again’ just captures this perfect balance of melancholy and joy,” said frontman Dave Gahan said in a statement.

Bandmate Martin Gore added, “It’s not often that we record a song that I just don’t get sick of listening to – I’m excited to be able to share it.”

The song marks the band’s first release since the passing of keyboardist Andy Fletcher.

“Ghosts Again” appears on Depeche Mode’s 15th album, Momento Mori, which is due on March 24.
