"'Where's the Revolution'" is a song by English electronic band Depeche Mode from their fourteenth studio album 'Spirit'. It was released as the album's first single on 3 February 2017, on the 20th anniversary of "Barrel of a Gun". The cover art was designed by Anton Corbijn. The single was premiered on the Polish radio 'Trjka' - Polskie Radio Program III at midnight on 3 February.[http://www.polskieradio.pl/9/201/Artykul/1723169,Nowy-singiel-Depeche-Mode-premierowo-w-Trojce 'Nowy singiel Depeche Mode premierowo w Trjce!'], 02.02.2017, polskieradio.pl.[https://www.instagram.com/p/BQAfrg3DlBd/ '"Where's The Revolution"'], 02.02.2017, instagram.com. This single is notable for being the first Depeche Mode lead single to not chart on the UK Singles Chart, a trend that would continue with Spirit's following singles.

Promotion



The song was premiered audio-only on YouTube. A dystopian-themed black-and-white music video was released a week later, on 9 February. The music video, as well as the animated visuals with flying flags and marching boots for the audio-only video, were directed and designed by Anton Corbijn.

Releases



The song is available as digital download from Amazon, HMV, Google Play Music and iTunes. It is also available as a 5-track CD Single, as a double vinyl (containing 9 remixes, released on 28 April 2017) and as an exclusive 7" vinyl promotional release in the April edition of the German music magazine Musik Express, with a live version of a 'Delta Machine' song "Should Be Higher" as B-side.
