Moby<\/strong><\/a> has today released a haunting video for new song A Case For Shame<\/strong><\/em>, which is the first track to be released from his impending new album Innocents<\/strong> (releasing on October 1st).\u00a0 Both the song and video involved collaboration with the multi-talented Canadian Cold Specks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>The video is Moby’s<\/strong> directorial debut and was shot by him at his home in Los Angeles. It features the masked characters from the album cover, Cold Specks<\/strong> and Moby<\/strong> himself under water.\u00a0 Moby<\/strong> writes further about the song and video as follows:<\/p>\n

“the video has a specific meaning for me, but i’m hesitant to say what that is, as it might have a very specific meaning to you, and it’s completely open to anyone’s subjective interpretation. just because i made it doesn’t mean that my interpretation of it is the right one. i’d love to hear what you think of it and what your interpretation is.<\/p>\n

oh, and it goes without saying, but it’s certainly not a big, commercial video… it’s an experimental video, inspired by some of my early heroes of experimental film, like jack smith (who also inspired fellini and andy warhol, so i guess at the very least i’m in good company in citing jack smith as an inspiration, even if i’m clearly not fellini or andy warhol…)”<\/p>\n

Bodes extremely well for Innocents<\/strong>, which you can pre-order HERE<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 In addition to Cold Specks<\/strong>, other collaborators on the new album include Wayne Coyne<\/strong>, Mark Lanegan<\/strong>, and Damien Jurado.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The song’s lyrics follow the video.<\/p>\n
