The Perfect Life is the first single to be taken from Moby’s forthcoming new album Innocents and will be released on September 30.
It is an epic electronic soul track, which showcases the forthcoming collaborations album to dramatic effect. Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips joins Moby to deliver an uplifting and melodic anthem. The video will premier on September 3rd , details to be announced.
The much anticipated video for the The Perfect Life was shot in L.A with Coyne and Moby dressed up as a Mexican mariachi band. The casting call was posted on Moby’s Facebook and included some very specific extras, “S&M gimp rhythmic gymnast”, “eight roller-skating ghosts”, “12 goth choir members”, “2 obese bearded bikers in red speedos”, “a punk rock brass brand” and “a drunk king: guy with beard age 35-50”.
Moby comments on the impromptu teaser; “A few weeks ago Wayne and I spent the day making a video for The Perfect Life. then at the end of the day we broke out an acoustic guitar and gathered all of the extras on a rooftop overlooking L.A and sang an unrehearsed, impromptu version of the song. Please keep in mind we had no idea what we were doing.”
