New Moby album arrives this March

It's no secret that DVR technology has commercial producers running scared. With the previously unimagined power of being able to fast forward through pesky ads at the consumer's fingertips, TV commercial writers have to fight more than ever for viewers' attentions.

But what's this... a pale white knight on the horizon? Why, it's Moby, the undisputed master of TV commercial background music! You just know that the ad industry has been salivating for this guy to reemerge with some of those sweet, sweet sounds ever since Hotel underwhelmed listeners in 2005. On March 10, those suits and music fans alike will be treated to a new Moby release, entitled Last Night.

NME.com has a few details: Last Night contains fifteen tracks, includes several guest rappers, and is more "dance oriented." Moby attributes the sonic shift to doing more DJ work as of late. His latest DJ set is coming up on Dec. 6 at New York's Hiro Ballroom, where Moby has taken up a residency over the past couple of months. Uncut reports that the album's first single is entitled "Everyday It's 1989," but no other track titles have hit the presses just yet.
