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.
New single from Jake Troth with production work from Alex Goose.
A feature on a living legend.
This is the second piece for my ongoing series called 'Four Line Tries', where I release four line poems. Simple enough, yeah? If you care to partake, let me know! The imagery here comes courtesy of Miyazaki's debut full-length The Castle of Cagliostro (1979).
My big thumb never got slammed
in a car door so I don't know
your screams but if you'll calm down
and find your keys, I can help you through this

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
below.
Quite possibly Terry Gilliam's finest.
Eight songs everyone needs.
