With no word on the future of Depeche Mode, singer Dave Gahan is quite busy with a second solo project titled Hourglass, set for release in October of 2007.

Even more confident following the success of the debut Paper Monsters, Gahan released a statement to the press on his official site with the following details:

We were very aware of the importance of keeping urgency in the sound and a feeling of spontaneity. We didn't want to get bogged down in trying to make everything sound perfect. You want to keep the rough edges.


Side-line.com also confirms that Gahan has also just recently completed another side effort as a vocal contributer to a project called Mirror by Tom Anselmi and Vincent Jones.
