Album Review: Orange
"While there are delicious moments - the cracked beauty of 'Walk With Me', the broken push of 'Mistake', the womb-warm finale of 'Isolate' and the tender beauty of the title track all stand out - it is when the 16 tracks are interwoven, swaddling and surrounding you in a single sitting that the magic truly happens."

Interview: Music OHM
"The orchestral opener, Division, sets out the album's stall and by the time Pale Horses, featuring Amelia Zirin Brown on vocals, is over it's clear this is going to be a sedate, slightly bittersweet journey. Indeed, Pale Horses walks a well-trodden path with its downtempo beats and Moby's trademark swelling, string-laden chords but there's also a newfound poise and maturity to the end results."

Moby guest editor of Magnet Magazine this week!
"Moby is the artist who wasn’t there—but only because he’s always in motion. From hardcore punk to techno to film scores to mainstream rock to the sampladelic commercial phenomenon that was 1999’s Play, Moby’s career can appear as a blur of forever-changing sounds, vocalists and moods. His palette has shifted to twilight blue on the home-recorded Wait For Me (out this week on Little Idiot/Mute), with noir, shapeshifting pocket symphonies such as “Shot In The Back Of The Head” and its David Lynch-created video. MAGNET spoke to Moby about Bowie, faith, home renovation and more. Moby will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com this week."

Album Review: Rolling Stone
"For a guy who made his name driving party people to ecstasy, Moby has always had a thing for the blues. His unlikely 1999 megahit, Play, used them literally, grafting ancient samples into inviting electronic grooves. His latest uses them spiritually, giving his melancholy streak room to brood and blossom. Instrumentals like "Shot in the Back of the Head" (Google the haunting video, directed by David Lynch) billow moodily, lush arrangements glowing with Eno-style analog-synth warmth."
