The new artist album from electronic music legend Moby is on its way very soon and ahead of its release he's giving away the first EP from it for free...yes that’s not a typo, free...
If you have not heard of a musician known as Moby by now then you must have been locked away in a cage for the best part of twenty five years. As iconic names in music go Moby is right up there with the biggest of them and has a variety of styles and influences that make his music so appealing. He has one of the biggest selling albums of al time ‘Play’ to be proud of with the music on it being featured on adverts, television, charts and commercial deals all over the world. Just turn on the telly and you may well come across one of his tracks filtering the background of an advert. It’s an album I still have on in the car today and one you can never get tired of hearing.
The same goes for most of Moby’s music and his last two artist albums could not have been any more difference. ‘Last Night’ returned back to his dance routes with a collection of more electronic beats you may know Moby for. His last artist album ‘Wait For Me’ came straight off a different planet in comparison as he moved into a deep, depressing and emotionally moving LP far from what you may have expected. That’s the creative spark for Moby, one day it could be as lively as the sun while another it could take on a darker form. What form is his new artist album going to take? Well, it won't be long before we find out as it’s due in May! It’s an album build in the night as Moby explains in his journal update announcing the album last month. I must have been sleeping for a few weeks as its only this week it’s come to my attention. The full report from Moby is below and it’s a fascinating insight into the musical mind of one of the biggest names in dance.
Oh, and just for a treat he is giving away the first EP from the new single free! This three track digital freebie will feature Be The One, Sevastopol and Victoria Lucas. He has even produced his own videos for the new tracks using nothing but a handy cam and his surroundings for inspiration. Be The One is the first you should check out as its classic Moby and the signs from this first sneak preview is his new album will be a little bit more up tempo than his last. hi, ok, ta-da, official next album announcement update (i would write blog but i still have some odd, preternatural loathing for the word 'blog', although now i've written it twice, blog blog blog. now five times. i'll stop now).
so! next album update (not blog)
my next album is called 'destroyed' and it comes out in the middle of may sometime. musically it's very melodic and atmospheric and electronic, and if i had to sum it up i would describe it as: 'broken down melodic electronic music for empty cities at 2 a.m'.
that's what it sounds like to me, anyway. and the music was all originally written late at night while on tour, as i often have insomnia and spend a lot of times awake in hotel rooms at 2 a.m when everyone else in the world seems to be asleep. so rather than buy more drum machines on ebay (as nice as they are) i try to spend my insomnia time working on music. then i take the songs back to my studio and try to finish them with my weird collection of old, broken down drum machines and synthesizers and i try to convince my friends to sing on it (my friends emily zuzik, inyang bassey, and joy malcom sing on the record, as do i). then i put the songs on a record. then i call it 'destroyed'. then i put it out in may of 2011. at least that is the plan.
why 'destroyed'? well, in addition to the album i'm also putting out a book of photos (with the nice people at damiani/d.a.p). i've been a photographer since i was 10 years old, and i've decided to finally release a book of photographs. i know, in the age of digital photography EVERYONE is a photographer. but i've been shooting pictures for 35 years with a nikon F, and i used to work in darkrooms, developing and printing, so i feel like i'm not a complete dilettante digital photographer.
so, the title: 'destroyed'. i was in laguardia airport and my flight was delayed and i was wandering around and i saw a small sign that said 'unattended luggage will be destroyed', but the sign only fit one word at a time so i waited until it read 'destroyed' and i took a picture and somehow the picture and the title make sense to me when i listen to the music on the album and when i look at the other pictures in the book and yes this is a huge long run on sentence about the title and cover image of the book and album but i like run on sentences because they remind me of 'a prayer for owen meany' by john irving
