Moby announces his 23rd studio album ‘Future Quiet’, to be released on 20th February 2026 via BMG and shares the lead track, a new version of the Stranger Things hit ‘When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die’ featuring Jacob Lusk, best known for his work with the acclaimed Gabriels.
‘Future Quiet’ signals a striking new chapter for one of electronic music’s most enduring and visionary artists. Across eleven 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.
A multi-platinum-selling, multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, author, film maker and animal rights activist. He released his first single, “Go,” in 1991 (listed as one of Rolling Stone magazine's best records of all time), and has since sold over 20,000,000 albums worldwide. His groundbreaking approach and musical innovation reshaped electronic music, defined a global sound and continues to influence producers, composers and artists across generations. Moby has produced and remixed artists as varied and disparate as David Bowie, Public Enemy, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beastie Boys, and Daft Punk, to name a few, and his most recent collaborations on his label Always Centred At Night focused on new and established powerful voices including Lady Blackbird, Benjamin Zephaniah, serpentwithfeet, José James and Akemi Fox. The last year has also seen him work with Russian ambient music prodigy Øneheart, plus remixes from Silver Panda, BLOND:ISH, DJ Tennis, Kiko Franco, Airrica and Kilimanjaro, released on Defected and Mute.

His work reflects a constantly evolving artist, securing ongoing relevance in an ever-changing cultural landscape.
About Moby:
Moby was born Richard Melville Hall in Harlem, NYC in 1965. His father gave him his nickname “Moby” when he was 10 minutes old, as a result of his hereditary relationship to Herman Melville. Moby started playing classical music and studying music theory when he was 9 years old, and then came of age musically in the punk rock scene in and around NYC in the early 80’s. He released his first single, “Go,” in 1991 (listed as one of “Rolling Stone'' magazine's best records of all time), and has been making albums ever since. He has sold over 20,000,000 albums worldwide.
Moby works with and supports a variety of non-profit organizations, including The Humane Society, Emily’s List, The ACLU, and The Institute for Music and Neurologic Function.
In 2005, Moby launched mobygratis; a free music licensing platform designed to support independent and student filmmakers, choreographers, musicians, producers, and other creatives. Powered by Little Walnut Productions, mobygratis continues to break down financial barriers in the arts by providing high-quality music to anyone who could benefit from it. Relaunched in 2025, this latest iteration also introduces collaborative options, enabling musicians and producers to remix and rework Moby’s instrumentals in ways never before possible.
