Innocents is in line with Wait for Me (2009) and Destroyed (2011), Moby’s most intimate and isolated albums. Following a move from New York to Los Angeles, he recorded almost all the instrumentation by himself. He made a considerable change by seeking vocals from an extended cast of relatively known singers — including Mark Lanegan, the Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne, Cold Specks, Skylar Grey, and Damien Jurado — rather than a handful of locals, and he had Mark “Spike” Stent mix it all. It’s another downcast, occasionally grand-sounding set suited for solitary home listening. Not much moves the feet. “A Long Time” has an insistent, kind of dejected chug, while “Saints” sounds like Moby trying to recall how Massive Attack’s “Unfinished Sympathy” goes. The emotional apex is “The Perfect Life,” a neo-gospel number where Moby and Coyne are backed by a choir of ten voices. It would have provided a suitable end to the album, but instead, it’s planted in the middle, surrounded by an ambient piano ballad and surprisingly understated showcase for Grey. Much of the album is rich with Moby’s synthetic strings. This is the most liberal he’s been with them — they’re just about everywhere — but he thankfully restrains himself on “The Lonely Night,” where Mark Lanegan’s deep, weathered voice is relatively (rightfully) unornamented and dissipates amid soft drones after “Here come the lonely night…can’t escape my mind.” It helps make Innocents Moby’s most powerful work in several years.

Moby’s second album on Deutsche Grammophon following 2021’s Bestselling Album and chart Success ‘Reprise’. Digging further into his catalogue, Moby has reimagined fifteen of some of his most iconic tracks for ‘Resound NYC’, featuring tracks that he wrote between 1994-2010 while living in New York City, and the new versions feature a vibrant, brass-heavy sound. From the sublime desperation of ‘When It’s Cold I’d Like to Die’ to the manic stomp of ‘Extreme Ways’ (best known as the theme from the ‘Jason Bourne’ film franchise), the reworked tracks burst forth with boundless energy. Guest vocalists on ‘Resound NYC’ include Nicole Scherzinger, Gregory Porter, Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs), Mylene Farmer, Amythyst Kiah, Lady Blackbird, Dougy Mandagi (The Temper Trap) and more.

Pioneering electronic musician/DJ/producer Moby releases his 12th album These Systems Are Failing, as Moby & The Void Pacific Choir. As with much of Moby’s output during his nearly three-decadelong career, it’s not surprising that a spiritual & political questioning underpins the nine songs comprising latest full length album. In characteristically iconoclastic fashion, the weighty themes explored throughout These Systems Are Failing find expression in the most direct & personal music Moby has ever created. “That quality of atmospheric sadness I’ve done so much of before isn’t here – there’s nothing quiet or ambient,” he notes. “Sonically, this record isn’t subtle: it’s big & loud, with huge kick drums & massive choral choruses.”

Following a notorious flirtation with alternative rock, Moby returned to the electronic dance mainstream on the 1997 album I Like to Score. With 1999’s Play, he made yet another leap back toward the electronica base that had passed him by during the mid-’90s. The first two tracks, “Honey” and “Find My Baby,” weave short blues or gospel vocal samples around rather disinterested breakbeat techno. This version of blues-meets-electronica is undoubtedly intriguing to the all-important NPR crowd, but it is more than just a bit gimmicky to any techno fans who know their Carl Craig from Carl Cox. Fortunately, Moby redeems himself in a big way over the rest of the album with a spate of tracks that return him to the evocative, melancholy techno that’s been a specialty since his early days. The tinkly piano line and warped string samples on “Porcelain” frame a meaningful, devastatingly understated vocal from the man himself, while “South Side” is just another pop song by someone who shouldn’t be singing — that is, until the transcendent chorus redeems everything. Surprisingly, many of Moby’s vocal tracks are highlights; he has an unerring sense of how to frame his fragile vocals with sympathetic productions. Occasionally, the similarities to contemporary dance superstars like Fatboy Slim and Chemical Brothers are just a bit too close for comfort, as on the stale big-beat anthem “Bodyrock.” Still, Moby shows himself back in the groove after a long hiatus, balancing his sublime early sound with the breakbeat techno evolution of the ’90s. –John Bush

Recorded in the legendary EastWest studios, Moby created this album in Studio 3 where Pet Sounds was recorded, using the same board that was used in the making of Ziggy Stardust and the same piano that Sinatra used to record some of his most notable hits. Keeping with Moby’s history of donating to charity (in 2018, he started selling off his records and collection of synthesizers and drum machines, donating the proceeds to charity), he is using this album as a sounding board to bring attention to a long list of charities dedicated to preserving our planet and all its inhabitants.
