Dave Gahan: Paper Monsters version on vinyl LP in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Mute in cooperation with Sony Music on 5. November 2021.

DAVE GAHAN has been one of the most acclaimed frontmen in pop history for more than two decades. As the voice of Depeche Mode, DAVE has become a hero to millions and has experienced incredible highs and lows in private. Yet in all that time, he never felt his emotional state was adequate to express his true feelings on an album. Until now, "Paper Monsters" is GAHAN's solo debut and a new beginning for the singer. Co-written with his friend, New York multi-instrumentalist Knock Chandler, and produced by Sigur Ros' Ken Thomas, the album is composed of sounds and textures, reflections and reinventions, making it a clear masterpiece for the 21st century. With the typical freshness of a first album and the mature wisdom of a seasoned soul, "Paper Monsters" was recorded without the pressure of time, focusing solely on the essentials - a process both liberating and exciting for DAVE.A masterpiece of reflection, redemption and rebirth, "Paper Monsters" represents DAVE GAHAN at the zenith of his creative endeavors; seizing each day and celebrating his insatiable lust for life. "I feel like I woke up and realized I've got a hell of a lot going on," DAVE declares. Review A. Koch in Musikexpress 6/03. "Paper Monster" is a musical unity of dark grey sounds, pop melodies and convincing hooklines."
