Shot In the Back Of The Head - Moby
I was pleasantly surprised to find out earlier this week that Moby has been laboring away at a new album in his Lower East Side studio, where all his best work has been done. Moby did a lot of DJing to great acclaim last year, and I think it’s put his head in a good place. What I love about Moby’s music is that its headphones+bedroom music, because that’s exactly where it was made. It’s slightly impersonal, does not easily reveal the methods with which it was made, and this song in particular has some great, off-kilter samples.
I’m posting a video instead of the mp3 today because the video is amazing. It was released along with the track on the same day and was created by David Lynch, apparently the result of a fruitful collaboration between the two artists. Unlike a lot of “artistic” music videos, Lynch closely follows the beat, and makes the video very watchable while still retaining a bit of his twisted outlook.
Wait For Me will be released on Moby’s Little Idiot label on June 30th.
