DEPECHE MODE ELECTRO ACOUSTIC XL

“Depeche Mode Electro Acoustic XL” is an electro-acoustic tribute to the music of Depeche Mode, performed by a four-piece line-up. Bartek Bobeł and Michał Matczak are joined by Paweł Ludwiczak on bass guitar and Paweł Cieślik on drums. This takes the Electro Acoustic format to a new level.

The repertoire includes Depeche Mode's biggest hits as well as lesser-known songs. The arrangements vary, from versions close to the originals to bold reinterpretations that depart significantly from them. The sound features electronics, heavy electric textures, acoustic ballads, electronic pulses, guitars, powerful bass, live drums and the band's distinctive vocals.
