Moby announces his 23rd studio album, Future Quiet, to be released on February 20th via BMG. The global pop star shares the lead track, a new version of the Stranger Things hit “When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die” featuring Jacob Lusk, best known for his work with the acclaimed Gabriels.
Future Quiet signals a striking new chapter for one of electronic music’s most enduring and visionary artists. Across 11 tracks that encompass modern piano minimalism, immersive ambient soundscapes, and a smattering of vocal collaborations, the album finds Moby reflecting on the tension between hyper-connected modern life and the deep human need for stillness.
“Future Quiet 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,” Moby says. “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.”
