For their third album together, Dave Gahan and Soulsavers took a different turn, with Imposter being a collection of cover songs. A logical comparison can be drawn to Gahan’s Depeche Mode bandmate Martin Gore’s Counterfeit releases, but Imposter is more self-consciously stately sonically, in keeping with Soulsavers’ interest in older classic American music styles. The song range, meanwhile, is quite sharp, from standards by James Carr, Elmore James, and Eartha Kitt to more recent efforts by Mark Lanegan, PJ Harvey and Cat Power among others.
