In August 2007, during promotion for Dave Gahan's second solo album, Hourglass, it was announced that Depeche Mode were heading back in studio in early 2008 to work on their upcoming twelfth studio album.[43]

In March 2008, rumours surfaced that Ben Hillier would be the producer of the forthcoming album.[44] In May 2008, the band returned to the studio to work on some songs that Martin Gore had been working on at his home studio in Santa Barbara, California.

In August 2008, it was announced that Depeche Mode were splitting from their long-term U.S. label, Warner Music, and will be signed to EMI Music worldwide.

At a press conference on 6 October 2008 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin[45] the band announced plans for its Tour of the Universe, the groups first-ever stadium tour in which they will perform in 28 cities across 21 countries throughout Europe [46], which commenced on May 6, 2009 with it's warm-up show at Rockhal, Luxembourg.[47] and officially starts on May 10, 2009 at Ramat Gan Stadium, Israel.[48] Dates in North America and a return to South America for the first time since the Exotic Tour of 1994 are to follow but have not yet been announced.[49] At the press conference, clips from two new songs, "Wrong" and "Peace" were previewed. "Wrong" is a Dave Gahan-sung track with a lot of electronics, "Peace" a Gore/Gahan duet.[50]

Posted on YouTube are videos shot by Andy Fletcher of the construction of a new song from the album.[51]

On 15 January 2009, the official Depeche Mode website announced that the new album would be called Sounds of the Universe.[52]. The album was released internationally on 20 April 2009 and in the U.S. on 21 April 2009.[53]

"Wrong" is the first single from the album, released digitally on 21 February 2009, and physically on 6 April (7 April in the U.S.). The video is directed by Patrick Daughters.

The full album was leaked over the Internet on 26 March 2009, when it was sold ahead of time through iTunes Pass.[citation needed]

Andy Fletcher says the idea for their iTunes Pass was a combination of the band's and iTunes'. "I think the digital and record companies are starting to get their act together. They were very lazy in the first 10 years when downloads came in. Now theyre collaborating more and coming up with interesting ideas for fans to buy products." [54]

Depeche Mode's Andy Fletcher has told the indie electronic magazine Side-Line that several demos from the band have gone missing[55]. One of the missing demos is "Personal Jesus".

On May 14 2009, Depeche Mode announced they had been forced to cancel six shows on their Tour of the Universe due to further complications from singer Dave Gahan's severe bout of gastroenteritis.
