Dave Gahan & Soulsavers - Imposter
Description
Imposter is a collection of songs by Dave Gahan & Soulsavers. Dave & Soulsavers didn’t write these songs, but they listened to them, studied them & gave them new life.
Recorded at the legendary Shangri-La Studio in Malibu, these versions of songs you know & some you may not, range from sparce to lush, somber to joyful. The choices and the sequencing were deliberate & meaningful. It shines a light on the enduring strength of poignant lyrics and well executed melodies.
Imposter is a reflection of Dave’s life, a story told by others, but in his own distinct voice.
