Moby are ready to release his next studio album «Future Quiet», set to release February 20th, 2026 via BMG.
«Future Quiet» signals the latest chapter for one of electronic music’s most enduring and visionary artists. Across fourteen tracks that encompass modern piano minimalism, immersive ambient soundscapes and a smattering of vocal collaborations, the album finds Moby reflecting on the tension between hyper-connected modern life and the deep human need for stillness.
«‘Future Quiet’ is, not surprisingly, quiet. To be clear; I love bombast. I love excess and volume. But as the world gets louder and crazier I find myself needing the refuge of quiet, both as a listener and as a musician. For me, and hopefully for others, Future Quiet is a refuge. The world, self-evidently, is more demanding than it’s ever been. The world screams at us, our screens scream at us, other people scream at us, and to retreat from the screaming we need safety and refuge. That for me is the goal of ‘Future Quiet’. Writing and recording it was a refuge for me, and I hope that listening to it is a refuge for you.»
The album opens with a new version of «When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die», featuring the glorious Jacob Lusk on vocals.
«I first heard Jacob’s voice on KCRW when they started playing ‘Love and Hate in A Different Time’. And, like anyone who’s heard Jacob sing, I immediately fell in love with his voice. After hearing him sing on the radio, I spent weeks tracking him down and begging him to work with me. And, lucky me, he agreed. The results speak for themselves, as his vocals on ‘When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die’ are, I say with something approaching objectivity, transcendent.»
The original song (featuring vocalist Mimi Goese) was first released on Moby’s 1995 album «Everything Is Wrong». The track has gained a new generation of listeners thanks to its emotive use in seasons one and four of Netflix phenomenon «Stranger Things». Clamour for the 1995 song amidst the fifth and final season of «Stranger Things» has seen it leap to Moby’s most streamed song as well as go viral across social media.
«It’s reaching hundreds of millions of people annually, which is both wonderful and surprising, especially as it was an obscure song with no drums or bass and was never released as a single.»
