Song of the Day: Soulsavers – Longest Day (featuring Dave Gahan)

I first encountered Soulsavers in 2007 when they released the stunning gospel tinged track Revival featuring Mark Lanegan and that was just amazing on all levels. Soulsavers are the production team of Rich Machin and Ian Glover and have been consistently releasing gospelly-dramatic music for a few years now. This year they released The Light the Dead See, the group’s 4th LP and first in three years.

Fans of Depeche Mode will be pleased to know that this fourth album is a collaboration between Soulsavers and Dave Gahan, and Gahan acts as the main vocalist and lyricist on the record. It’s only fitting given all of Gahan’s trials, tribulations and suffering that he would want to collaborate with the group, who seem to excel at that certain type of music you want to listen to when you are all down on yourself and need some inspiration. Longest Day is a single off the album it’s a dark, dramatic tune that sees Gahan accompanied by a choir. It’s a tune that is a good indicator of Soulsavers brand of music and it’s one worthy of your time, have a listen.
