The influential UK group Depeche Mode is still going strong as they approach their fourth decade as a band. The synthpop pioneers released their 14th full-length, Spirit, earlier this year and are currently touring behind the record. Today, they’ve shared a new music video for the standout track, “Cover Me”.

Directed by longtime collaborator Anton Corbijn, the black and white video has a stark, futuristic tone. Dressed in a space suit, frontman Dave Gahan wanders through the streets of Los Angeles before taking a seat on a bench with a view of the beach. As he gazes into the sky, Gahan’s daydreams transport him to space. Watch the full video up top.
