Resound NYC

Today, multi-platinum selling singer, songwriter and producer, Moby, releases the orchestral rework of Extreme Ways, featuring Dougy Mandagi of the Australian indie rock band The Temper Trap, taken from the anticipated release of Moby’s 20th studio album, Resound NYC on 12th May 2023, through Deutsche Grammophon.

‘Extreme Ways’ was originally released as the second single from Moby’s sixth studio album ‘18’ on June 24, 2002 and features as the title track on all five Bourne films. Groove driven orchestral strings, brass and choir, set against vexed vocals from Moby and Doug Mandagi elevate Extreme Ways’ (Resound NYC) to dramatic effect.

Says Moby,  “My original goal with 'extreme ways' was to make it sound like a track from 'physical graffiti' or 'exile on main street', and while it's clearly not worthy of being on one of those albums i think with the brass section and choir we've been able to give it a sonic heft that is pretty satisfying.”

On Resound NYC Moby reimagines and orchestrates fifteen of his most iconic tracks written or recorded in New York from the years 1994 to 2010, with guest vocalists including Gregory Porter, Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs), Margo Timmons, and Amythyst Kiah. Last month Moby shared Walk with Me featuring Lady Blackbird, plus the always centred at night remix.

Reprise

Musical pioneer Moby announces his new album Reprise, out May 28th on Deutsche Grammophon. Reprise sees Moby revisiting and reimagining musical highlights from his past. Together with the Budapest Art Orchestra, he has re-envisioned some of his most recognizable rave classics and anthems with new arrangements for orchestra and acoustic instruments. He's also joined by a stellar line-up of guest artists from across the musical spectrum, including Alice Skye, Amythyst Kiah, Apollo Jane, Darlingside, Gregory Porter, Jim James, Kris Kristofferson, Luna Li, Mark Lanegan, Mindy Jones, Nataly Dawn, Skylar Grey and Víkingur Ólafsson.

Reprise includes Moby's biggest tracks, among them his breakthrough dance track "Go", "Extreme Ways" (famous from the Bourne movie franchise), "Natural Blues" and "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?". Some of the new versions are sparser and slower, while others exploit the bombastic potential an orchestra can offer. Three decades into Moby's career, Reprise is less of a greatest hits record and more of a chance to reflect on the way in which art can adapt over time to different settings and contexts.
