Here’s an artist I haven’t thought about in a while… Mr. Richard Melville Hall commonly known to friends as Moby is set to release a new album. You may remember he gained super music noteriety for his album Play back in ‘99 which at the time seemed to permeate all forms of audible media (radio, tv, movies, commercials, etc.).  I sort of fell out of touch with his later albums, as my music tastes went down the wondering paths they often do.  Yet apparently I was set to return, as I stumbled upon his latest single / video for his upcoming album Wait For Me.

Shot in the Back of the Head (below) was created by the ever-awesome director David Lynch.  I haven’t had a chance to hear any of the rest the new album Wait for Me but this first single combined with two additional things makes me want to keep my ears open.

• Thing 1: He’s giving the first single away for free (available here); not entirely embrassing the free / pay-what-you want model but still a good first move.
• Thing 2: His blog post regarding a return to do-it-yourself and home studio work with friends reads rather nicely.

I leave you with the video below.  Almost gives a sort of M83 feel does it not?  Oh that may be because producer Ken Thomas who’s helped out with Sigur Ros & M83 lent his hand to the mixing.
