Info for Future Quiet

Moby has released his 23rd studio album "Future Quiet". "Future Quiet" signals a striking new chapter for one of electronic music’s most enduring and visionary artists. Across eleven 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.

Elaborating, moby says, “‘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. 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.”

The album opens with a new version of ‘when it’s cold i’d like to die’, featuring the glorious jacob lusk (gabriels) on vocals. “i first heard jacob’s voice on kcrw when they started playing ‘love and hate in a different time’,” moby recalls. “and, 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.”

The original song (featuring vocalist mimi goese) was first released on moby’s 1995 album ‘everything is wrong’. the track has gained a new generation of listeners thanks to its emotive use in seasons one and four of netflix phenomenon ‘stranger things’. clamour for the 1995 song amidst the fifth and final season of ‘stranger things’ has seen it leap to moby’s most streamed song as well as go viral across tiktok. speaking of its success, moby says, “it’s reaching hundreds of millions of people annually, which is both wonderful and surprising, especially as it was an obscure song with no drums or bass and was never released as a single.”

A multi-platinum-selling, multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, author, film maker and animal rights activist. He released his first single, “Go,” in 1991 (listed as one of Rolling Stone magazine's best records of all time), and has since sold over 20,000,000 albums worldwide. His groundbreaking approach and musical innovation reshaped electronic music, defined a global sound and continues to influence producers, composers and artists across generations. Moby has produced and remixed artists as varied and disparate as David Bowie, Public Enemy, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beastie Boys, and Daft Punk, to name a few, and his most recent collaborations on his label Always Centred At Night focused on new and established powerful voices including Lady Blackbird, Benjamin Zephaniah, serpentwithfeet, José James and Akemi Fox. The last year has also seen him work with Russian ambient music prodigy Øneheart, plus remixes from Silver Panda, BLOND:ISH, DJ Tennis, Kiko Franco, Airrica and Kilimanjaro, released on Defected and Mute. His unwavering musical curiosity has taken him from rave-era techno to ambient, orchestral, acoustic and experimental work. His work reflects a constantly evolving artist, securing ongoing relevance in an ever-changing cultural landscape.
