Depeche Mode’s new studio album ‘Delta Machine’ is released in the U.S. today, and the band is marking the occasion with the release of Yahoo! Music’s belated webcast of the band’s appearance at the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, on March 15. Check out the full 50-minute set.

Following live previews of some of the album’s songs last week and a leak of the full record on Sunday, Depeche Mode is now streaming its forthcoming LP Delta Machine, for free on iTunes one full week ahead of its release. The record’s out in North America next Tuesday, but check it out now.
