James Ford “regrets” producing Mumford & Sons’ ‘Wilder Mind’, but says Depeche Mode’s ‘Spirit’ was the “hardest”

James Ford has said that he “regrets” producing Mumford & Sons’ ‘Wilder Mind’, but that Depeche Mode’s ‘Spirit’ was the “hardest” to make.Speaking to NME, Ford – who counts Arctic Monkeys and Blur among his other credits – was asked which record from his career he has found the hardest to produce.“Well, the one I wish I’d never done was that fucking Mumford record [2015’s ‘Wilder Mind’]!” he replied.“I don’t know why I did that. It paid for my house but it’s the record I regret doing.”Of the hardest record he has made, he added: “The hardest was probably the [2017] Depeche Mode album ‘Spirit’ because everyone was in a horrible place, the mood was strange, people weren’t getting on, and a lot of it felt like marriage guidance counselling to stop the whole thing falling off the rails and the band splitting up.”Despite this, Ford has positive memories of producing Depeche Mode’s most recent album, 2023’s ‘Memento Mori’.

Lily Moayeri This week, Depeche Mode’s two remaining members, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, announced that they will be releasing a new studio album, “Memento Mori,” in the spring and embarking on a brace of tour dates next year.

The day after the press conference, Gahan Zoomed in from Berlin to give Variety some more insight on what went into the making of Memento Mori, which was produced by James Ford (who also produced the group’s last album, 2017’s “Spirit”) Marta Salogni (Björk, Animal Collective).
