moby's newest album, 'Wait For Me' will release June 30th. i CAN'T wait!
'i started working on the album about a year ago, and the creative
impetus behind the record was hearing a david lynch speech at bafta, in
the uk.
david was talking about creativity, and to paraphrase, about how
creativity in and of itself, and without market pressures, is fine and
good.
it seems as if too often an artists or musicians or writers creative
output is judged by how well it accommodates the marketplace, and how
much market share it commands and how much money it generates.
in making this record i wanted to focus on making something that i
loved, without really being concerned about how it might be received by
the marketplace. as a result it's a quieter and more melodic and more
mournful and more personal record than some of the records i've made in
the past.
it's also, for better or worse, all homemade, in that i recorded it
at home with my friends and drew the artwork with a black sharpie on
copy paper.'
