This week’s new releases include the digital debut of Depeche Mode’s new single “Heaven,” off the upcoming ‘Delta Machine,’ plus Sugar’s eight-record box set called, naturally, ‘A Box of Sugar,’ and featuring the first-ever vinyl pressings of the ‘Besides’ comp and the ‘Joke is Always On Us, Sometimes’ live album.

Depeche Mode today announced that Columbia Records will release its upcoming 13th studio album in March, signalling an end to the synthpop act’s relationship with EMI Music, which picked up the group when it purchased Mute Records in 2002.
