Out February 20 via BMG, the follow-up to his similarly minimalist <em>Ambient 23<\/em> takes cues from Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil, the producer says. Leading the record is a rework of his 1995 song \u201cWhen It\u2019s Cold I\u2019d Like to Die\u201d featuring Gabriels\u2019 Jacob Lusk. Listen to that below, and scroll down for the album art and tracklist.<\/p>\n<p>That song, originally sung by Mimi Goese on Moby\u2019s <em>Everything Is Wrong<\/em>, has had a streaming resurgence since its sync in the first season of <em>Stranger Things<\/em> (and reprisal in season 4). Of its new vocalist, Moby says, \u201cLike anyone who\u2019s heard Jacob sing, I immediately fell in love with his voice. After hearing him sing on the radio, I spent weeks tracking him down and begging him to work with me. And, lucky me, he agreed. The results speak for themselves, as his vocals on \u2018When It\u2019s Cold I\u2019d Like to Die\u2019 are, I say with something approaching objectivity, transcendent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moby elaborates on the album\u2019s influences in a press release:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"BlockquoteEmbedWrapper-sc-MKszq bfeRaL blockquote-embed\" data-testid=\"blockquote-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"BlockquoteEmbedContent-edvnUB jpHknm blockquote-embed__content\">\n<p>When I was growing up I played in hardcore punk rock bands, and I DJed VERY LOUD hip hop and house music and industrial music, but I also needed the refuge of quiet records like This Mortal Coil, the Cocteau Twins, Eno &amp; Bowie\u2019s ambient music, Gorecki, Arvo Part, etc. <em>Future Quiet<\/em> is definitely the product of my influences, as I can\u2019t count the number of times I\u2019ve listened to \u2018Song to the Siren\u2019 or Joy Division\u2019s \u2018Atmosphere.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The mostly instrumental LP features a handful more guest vocalists, namely Serpentwithfeet, Elise Serenelle, and India Carney. Once the album is out, Moby will back it with a major tour, soon to be announced.<\/p>\n<figure data-testid=\"IframeEmbed\" class=\"IframeEmbedWrapper-sc-ldQZQl ejqOZZ iframe-embed\">\n<div data-hasconsent=\"true\" data-testid=\"IframeEmbedContainer\" class=\"IframeEmbedContainer-hkaqNE rtPbe\">\n<div class=\"IframeEmbedAspectRatioWrapper-hLozwN bAXJOK\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"GridWrapper-cFSKbf cxzKYj grid grid-margins grid-items-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hkPQhP lnoYVP grid-layout--adrail narrow wide-adrail\" data-journey-hook=\"grid-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"GridItem-beYvyV kCPYUp grid--item grid-layout__content\">\n<div class=\"BodyWrapper-kzyFNv gGoeHn body body__container article__body\" data-journey-hook=\"client-content\" data-testid=\"BodyWrapper\">\n<div class=\"body__inner-container\">\n<p><em>Future Quiet<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p>01 When It\u2019s Cold, I\u2019d Like to Die [ft.
