Moby has recruited some of his famous friends including Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips and Mark Lanegan from Screaming Trees for his next album ‘Innocents’.
‘Innocents’ is the 11th studio album from Moby. He announced the album via his YouTube channel today.
The album was produced by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent who has done time with Muse, Depeche Mode, Bjork and U2. It also features appearances from Cold Specks , Damien Jurado, Skylar Grey and Inyang Bassey.
The guests make for a different flavor for a Moby record as he generally records everything himself. “I spend most of my time alone in my studio, so for Innocents it seemed like a really nice idea to involve other people in the making of the record,” Moby said in a statement. “Working with all of these collaborators has helped me to make a record that I’m very proud of, and working this way also gave me some semblance of a social life.”
‘Innocents’ also marks a return to Warner Music for Moby. Warner released his first four albums up until ‘Animal Rights’ in 1996.
The tracklisting for ‘Innocents’ is:
1. “Everything that Rises”
2. “A Case for Shame” (with Cold Specks)
3. “Almost Home” (with Damien Jurado)
