Rewind: Moby on Insomnia, Apocalypse, and Why Humanity Can’t Stop Screwing Itself Up

In two conversations spanning seven years, Moby tells Kyle Meredith about creating beauty in chaos — first at SXSW 2011, where he previewed Destroyed, an album and photo book born from sleepless nights in hotel rooms, filled with “broken-down electronics” and midnight-highway moods. Flash forward to 2018, he’s promoting Everything Was Beautiful & Nothing Hurt and unpacking the emotional weight of songs like “Motherless Child,” connecting their grief and longing to his own life and the world’s unraveling. From playing bass with OMD on an upside-down guitar to comparing humanity to “scared little monkeys at a watering hole,” Moby weaves the personal and political, the sacred and absurd.lease take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
