Moby has never been an artist to stand still, but Future Quiet suggests a deliberate slowing of pace. Released today via BMG, the 23rd studio album leans into piano minimalism, ambient drift and carefully placed vocal collaborations, positioning stillness as both aesthetic and response.
“It’s not surprisingly quiet. As the world gets louder and crazier I find myself needing the refuge of quiet.”
The opening orchestral reworking of When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die, featuring Jacob Lusk of Gabriels, reconnects Moby to a track first released in 1995 on Everything Is Wrong. Once an understated deep cut, it has since become his most streamed song, boosted by its pivotal use in Stranger Things. Its resurgence has introduced Moby to a new generation, turning a previously obscure composition into a cultural bridge.
The album arrives alongside the announcement of his most ambitious live run in more than a decade: a 28-date European tour for summer 2026. The run follows his return to Coachella in April and includes open-air performances at Brighton’s On The Beach, London’s Old Royal Naval College and Dublin’s Irish Museum of Modern Art — all sold out within 24 hours.
Critically lauded sold-out European dates in 2024 — with profits donated entirely to animal rights organisations — reinforced his long-standing activism. That ethic threads through his wider work: environmental advocacy, mental health awareness, and, most recently, the founding of Little Walnut, an artist-first production company supporting film and documentary projects.
Across more than thirty years, Moby has sold over 20 million records, produced and remixed artists ranging from David Bowie to Public Enemy, and helped pull electronic music into the mainstream.
