Moby Knows These Systems Are Failing

Back in October,

one of my favorite artists

Moby

released an incredibly

woke music video

called "Lost in the World".

It's a strong social commentary

on the status of the country

(and the globe)

and will have your jaw

on the ground

by the unsettling

finale.

When this video

was released

over a month ago,

I thought it was

the lead single

to a forthcoming album,

not realizing

that it dropped

in October as well.

These Systems Are Failing

marks Moby's 13th LP

(and his first

as Moby & The Void

Pacific Choir),

one that is a change

of pace from his four

hour ambient release

earlier this year.

While I prefer

sad and reflective

(see also: melancholic)

Moby over politically

aggressive Moby, 

it's always nice

to get new content

from Mr. Little Idiot.

All hail Moby.

Premiere // Purple Circles // A Collaborative Affair

Artwork by Moses Chisale

Today we offer

you the premiere

of "Purple Circles",

a song featuring singer

Drea Smith

as well as producers

Banks the Genius,

Noah Sims,

and I.B.C.L.A.S.S.I.C.

This is truly

a Chicago collaborative

affair, with Vibe Dealer

Drea Smith

handling a drowsy

yet hypnotic flow

over the atmospheric

and bass heavy

instrumentation.

It reminds me

of something

Zero 7

and Portishead

might have released

a decade ago.

It reminds me

a futuristic

radio broadcast

found out

in the nothingness

of space.

What a Thursday.

Enjoy the premiere

up above and

check the playlist

of the four artists

that helped

with this track
