Moby has announced his new album, titled Future Quiet, will be released on February 20th. The project marks Moby’s 23rd studio album, and is the follow-up to 2023’s ‘Everything Is Wrong. ’
Future Quiet features a variety of guest collaborators across 11 tracks, led by a reimagined version of his Stranger Things viral song, ‘When It’s Cold I’d Like to Die’, in collaboration with Gabriels’ Jacob Lusk. The song was originally sung by Mimi Goese, and has enjoyed a streaming resurgence when it featured on the first and fourth season of hit Netflix series Stranger Things.
Moby (real name Richard Melville Hall) shares that the album “is, not surprisingly, quiet. To be clear; I love bombast. I love excess and volume. But as the world gets louder and crazier I find myself needing the refuge of quiet, both as a listener and as a musician. For me, and hopefully for others, Future Quiet is a refuge. The world, self-evidently, is more demanding than it’s ever been. The world screams at us, our screens scream at us, other people scream at us, and to retreat from the screaming we need safety and refuge. That for me is the goal of ‘Future Quiet.’ Writing and recording it was a refuge for me, and I hope that listening to it is a refuge for you.”
Regarding the new collaboration with Jacob Lusk, Moby shared, “Like anyone who’s heard Jacob sing, I immediately fell in love with his voice. After hearing him sing on the radio, I spent weeks tracking him down and begging him to work with me. And, lucky me, he agreed. The results speak for themselves, as his vocals on ‘When It’s Cold I’d Like to Die’ are, I say with something approaching objectivity, transcendent.”
