Moby Shares “Dark Days” and Announces New Album
New York City-based electronic musician, producer and activist Moby announces his first live dates in over a decade, performing his greatest hits in Europe in September, including in London, Berlin, Paris and more.
Additionally, Moby announces the release of his next album always centered at night, due out June 14 via Mute. He shares the newest track and video from the collection, “dark days” featuring soul-jazz singer-songwriter Lady Blackbird, out everywhere now. The album features a different collaborator on each track, including the late British poet and activist Benjamin Zephaniah, as well as previously released songs boasting a varied list of accomplished collaborators like Gaidaa, (“transit”) José James, (“ache for”) Akemi Fox, (“fall back”) serpentwithfeet, (“on air,”) and Aynzli Jones (“medusa,”)
Speaking about the tour Moby says, “It’s been over 10 years since I’ve toured, but someone reminded me that 2024 is the 25th anniversary of the release of ‘Play,’ so it seemed like it might not be the worst idea to do a short European tour to commemorate and celebrate. The show will feature well known songs from ‘Play,’ but also a bunch of audience favorites. What makes the tour most exciting for me is that I won’t be paid anything. 100% of my tour profits will go to European animal rights organizations.”
Moby’s next act includes uplifting the next wave of musicians, lending his platform to rising voices of whom he’s a fan. Thrilled to bring this dynamic body of work to the world, Moby explains, “For the last 30 years, I’ve worked with amazing singers–everyone from David Bowie to Freddie Mercury, Gregory Porter to Jill Scott. Always Centered At Night continues my love of collaborating, but has a focus of working with amazing singers who might not be as well known as David Bowie and Gregory Porter.” Though all tracks are collaborations, the music remains unmistakably Moby, dripping with glittery melodies and warm, hypnotic instrumentals.
Out today, “dark days” is a defiant, rhythmic work propelled by the alluring, deep vocals and earnest soul of American jazz singer-songwriter Lady Blackbird.
