Depeche Mode’s Delta Machine Tour is coming to an end….unfortunately.  Here is a great live version of their most recent single You Should be Higher , visually powerful synth pop in action! Video directed by Anton Corbijn.

 

Glowing lights and synth filled track by Gardens & Villa….. brilliant. Lo-fi clip directed by Hans Lo!

And here is Mark Lanegan‘s cover of Flatlands. Exquisite.
