an album update:

after a year of recording and writing, today's the day i go into the studio to begin the final mixing on my next record.if all goes well i'm hoping to finish the album by the end of february, and to release it in june.

i'll be mixing the album with ken thomas, who has produced and mixed everyone from sigur ros to m83 to dave gahan to public image ltd. sonically it's quite a bit different than the last few albums i've released. overall it's a lot quieter and more melodic and more emotional record than the last few records. if 'last night' was a saturday night 1 a.m dance record then this next album is more of a '9 a.m sunday morning lying in bed while it's raining outside' album. my one presumptuous request, which i'll probably make a few more times, is that you take the time to listen to it at least once all the way through. i fully know that we live in an age wherein people usually listen to random tracks from an album, but i've worked very hard trying to craft a beautiful and cohesive body of work that will ideally make sense when listened to from start to finish.

thanks,

moby

just what i need

a lying-in-bed-listening-to-the-rain album is just the kind of music i would love to hear right now. and of course, as with any artist i like, i will always set aside some time to sit in a quiet room without distractions and with headphones on and listen to the album all the way through the very first time i play it.

i'm excited!

Great comments

The only addition I can think of at the moment is that we the tax payers who are funding this bailout should also receive quarterly dividends checks. I'm just saying. They can refuse us but we can't refuse them? I'll take my money back with interest thank you very much.

Great news!

This is excellent news. Your description of the new album sounds very much like Hotel Ambient and that is my favourite album. It's great just to chill out to at night. I'm really looking forward to it. You should put a sneak preview of a song on myspace or something to keep us going til the album's released :P
Have a great day,

i love lamp.

that is all.

some good perspective ahead, then

Thanks for that you add some good perspective to the months ahead by letting us know this, Moby.
We'll wait for the new album with thrills, with wonders if it could be listened to light heartedly. And I would say your coming new album could be rather for a rainy Sunday afternoon stuff than for 9am, definitely not, stuff on Sunday morning!! ....eh...it's still deeply sleeping time for many, yo!

Seems a whole lot of work'll be done in your side before coming out of the new album. Have a nice time, nonetheless.

new album

That's a done deal. I'm old school and listen music from the start to the finish. Really looking forward to it.

Getting in touch

Hiya!

I thought it was incredibly beautiful that you support so many indie filmmakers with your music and art! I'm currently working on a couple of indie film projects in London with my production company, Kukla Pictures. Would you be interested in getting in touch?

With lots of love and respect,

Christina @ Kukla

Moby my mate

Moby,

You would be on my "final dinner" table. You know where you have your ten most beloved people around your table? Usually consists of Einstein, Freud, etc etc...Is that called your "final dinner"? Anyway, you would be on mine.

I love your music and I love what you have to say about most things.

Please never stop making such wonderful music.

Simon. Liverpool UK

a well thought out album at last!

After all the so similar sounding and manufactered songs in todays day and age it will be with a welcome sigh of relief to hear a good old fashion record, how records used to be written - full of emotions, stories and meanings.
I very much look forward to this album I'm kind of imagining it to be a cross between Hotel and Play would I be correct on that line of thought or am I way off the mark?!!! Either way it does not matter I've enjoyed all your albums and love the different styles you keep coming out with.
Roll on June!

I cannot wait to hear it!

Hi Moby, after years of following your artwork I cannot wait to hear your next album. I am sure it will be great. I especially like your slower tracks like "My weakness" which is one of my favorite themes. And I like the idea of creating a concept album a lot. So keep being that creative, inspiring and unique!

Although you are far too busy I'd like to invite you and anyone interested to my little and simple myspace page www.myspace.com/sphericsoundstudio to share my bedroom made music with you. Maybe you might like it a little bit (I am not a professional musician nor do I get any money for it nor do I seek stardom).

Thanks, Björn

I'm so very excited for this album my luv!!!!!!

Your top favorite tunes of mine are the more quiet, melodic and emotional ones Richard my luv, thus, I'm so very much looking forward to your new album and this time I will make sure to listen to all of the songs flowing from beginning to end (without allowing interruptions to make me stop or pause in between songs), as you requested. Kisses. I'm so sorry that I allowed a few songs to really take presidence over others with Last Night and I am sure you can tell with my reactions, that I hadn't listened to the entire album all the way through the first time.....for many reasons....

I send you angel dust, angel kisses and a warm wish for a grand success with your new album my love.

I Love, Love, Love *You*,

Your Dancing Angel Rachelle

awesome

this is good news.

So Excited!!

The description of your new record alone made me SO excited! In this day and age the idea of an album coming together as a body of work has lost a lot of meaning and I'm so glad you've stuck with this idea through out your career. And the genre of music that you've described is pretty much the exact type of music I listen to. My brother and I call the Sundays you described above as "Sad Sundays"... our band, Side by Side, wrote a song about Sad Sundays entitled "Disappear", it's suppose to sound like waking up on a Sunday with that pit in your stomach of sadness. I'll link it below for you in case you have a few minutes to listen to it!

Congrats Moby, be assured I will have it in my hands opening day.
