"Paper Monsters" is the debut solo album by Dave Gahan, best known as the charismatic lead singer of Depeche Mode. Released in 2003 on CD format by Sony Music Catalog, this record marks a significant milestone in Gahan's career as he steps into the spotlight with his own songwriting and distinctive voice outside of his legendary band. The album features a blend of alternative rock and electronic influences, showcasing tracks like "Dirty Sticky Floors," "Bottle Living," and "Hold On." With introspective lyrics and atmospheric production, "Paper Monsters" reveals another dimension to Gahan?s artistry while maintaining echoes of his iconic sound. Sony Music Catalog, part of the global music giant Sony Music Entertainment, is renowned for its extensive catalog that preserves classic albums from some of history?s most influential artists across genres.
Not everything works on this album (and his lyrical twists can't be compared to Martin Gore's) but it has a bold, expansive and at times orchestral feel (and loses the plinky-plonk keyboards of the Mode) and is all the better for it.
