Shot In The Back Of The Head

Moby has been the soundtrack to commerce since his huge break through, PLAY, in 1999. Unfortunately, in spite of his ability to pitch cars and life insurance, most of what he has done since has been pretty forgettable. Most of which feels like b-sides to PLAY. For those of us who were Moby fans from the early to mid nineties, we have had to watch his artistic relevance dwindle on life support for ten years. How accurate Eminem seemed in his early millennium bashing of our little, bald, vegan friend.

Given that set-up, you could image that I wasn't too excited to read that he has a new album coming out in June. What did catch my eye and get me very excited was the fact that his first single off of the record has a video directed by David Lynch. David freakin Lynch! How cool is that? I read on to find that the new album seems to be avoiding a lot of the celebrity filled, commercial trappings that have cheesed up most of his recent work. Could it be something worth getting excited about? If this first song and video is any indication, then I am more than thrilled to welcome back the Moby of old.
