Moby has released his 23rd studio album, ‘Future Quiet’, out now via BMG. The 14-track record lands as the artist prepares for performances at Coachella and announces his largest European tour in more than a decade.
Described by Moby as a response to an increasingly chaotic world, the album leans into restraint and atmosphere. “‘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. Writing and recording it was a refuge for me, and I hope that listening to it is a refuge for you,” he explains.
The album opens with an orchestral reworking of ‘When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die’ featuring Jacob Lusk of Gabriels. Originally released in 1995 on ‘Everything Is Wrong’, the track recently found renewed global attention through its inclusion in Stranger Things, becoming Moby’s most-streamed song and introducing his catalogue to a new generation. “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,” he says.
Elsewhere, ‘Future Quiet’ unfolds through piano-led minimalism, ambient textures, and select vocal collaborations, including appearances from Elise Serenelle, India Carney, and serpentwithfeet. New single ‘Mott St 1992’ arrives alongside the full album release.
The record coincides with a return to large-scale touring. Moby will perform at Coachella on April 10th and 17th before embarking on a 28-date European run from late June through August. The tour includes sold-out headline shows at On The Beach in Brighton on July 26th, London’s Old Royal Naval College on August 15th, and the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Kilmainham in Dublin on August 21st. Additional stops span Denmark, Turkey, Greece, Spain, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, and more. Grab your tickets here.
Over a career spanning more than three decades, Moby has sold over 20 million albums worldwide since his 1991 debut single ‘Go’. Beyond music, he remains active in film, publishing, and activism, supporting animal rights, environmental initiatives, and mental health awareness.
