Moby<\/a> has tiptoed into the studio for a new, mostly ambient album, Future Quiet. Out February 20, the follow-up to his similarly minimalist Ambient 23<\/a> takes cues from Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil, the producer says. Leading the record is a rework of his 1995 song \u201cWhen It\u2019s Cold I\u2019d Like to Die\u201d featuring Gabriels<\/a>\u2019 Jacob Lusk. Listen to that below, and scroll down for the album art and tracklist.<\/p>\n

That song, originally sung by Mimi Goese on Moby\u2019s Everything Is Wrong, has had a streaming resurgence since its sync in the first season of Stranger Things<\/a> (and reprisal in season 4). Of its new vocalist, Moby says, \u201cLike anyone who\u2019s 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 \u2018When It\u2019s Cold I\u2019d Like to Die\u2019 are, I say with something approaching objectivity, transcendent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moby elaborates on the album\u2019s influences in a press release:<\/p>\n

When I was growing up I played in hardcore punk rock bands, and I DJed VERY LOUD hip hop and house music and industrial music, but I also needed the refuge of quiet records like This Mortal Coil, the Cocteau Twins, Eno & Bowie\u2019s ambient music, Gorecki, Arvo Part, etc. Future Quiet is definitely the product of my influences, as I can\u2019t count the number of times I\u2019ve listened to \u2018Song to the Siren\u2019 or Joy Division\u2019s \u2018Atmosphere.\u2019<\/p>\n

The mostly instrumental LP features a handful more guest vocalists, namely Serpentwithfeet<\/a>, Elise Serenelle, and India Carney. BMG<\/a> is releasing the record, which Moby will back with a major tour, soon to be announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Moby has tiptoed into the studio for a new, mostly ambient album, Future Quiet.
