Much was said about Depeche Mode frontchap Dave Gahan's second solo album in our late-June piece about it, but the hallmarks of any good album-preview item-- a release date and a tracklist-- were, sadly, absent. Consider this, then, our proverbial doctor's note: Hourglass drops October 23 via Mute/Virgin, and a digital single for "Kingdom" will come August 27.

Everything else we said about Hourglass last time 'round still rings true, though a couple of the songs we mentioned would be included on Hourglass either didn't make the final cut or have taken on fancy new titles. Nevertheless, you may take a gander at the full, final Hourglass tracklist behind the jump, maybe peep the clips of Dave in the studio not working on Hourglass in the download section, then resume your usual brooding ritual accordingly.

Hourglass:

01 Saw Something
02 Kingdom
03 Deeper and Deeper
04 21 Days
05 Miracles
06 Use You
07 Insoluble
08 Endless
09 A Little Lie
10 Down
