Moby Knows These Systems Are Failing

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.

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
