Pat MacDonald is an American singer / songwriter who is adored in a small circle. Initially through his work with the group Timbuk 3, but later also through strong solo albums such as Sleeps With His Guitar. On Strange Love he does not perform any songs of his own for the first time. As the subtitle suggests, the twelve songs on Strange Love are all Depeche Mode covers. MacDonald performs them
