About this album

A Broken Frame is the album where Depeche Mode began turning sleek synth-pop into something darker and more distinctive. Released in 1982, it was the band’s first album after Vince Clarke’s departure, leaving Martin Gore to take over songwriting and helping define the group’s future direction. The record balances bright melodies with a colder, more introspective tone, and the single See You became an early UK Top 10 hit that signalled their growing reach. Its blend of pop immediacy and electronic restraint made it an important step between their debut and the more assured sound that followed.
