MeanLittleBumbleBee

So up until last year’s North Coast Music Festival I wasn’t a Moby fan.  There were a couple songs on Play that I kinda liked but unlike Mr. Bee, for example, I didn’t really seek out his music and just brushed him off as another pretentious New York vegan (you can tell me to fuck off at meanlittlebumblebee-at-gmail-dot-com).  Seeing him work up a sweat as he DJ’d at NCMF turned every ignorant idea I had of him around.  I went through his back catalog last fall and came away with a new found appreciation for the man.  Listening to him on a recent NPRs All Songs Considered podcast I learned that with while working on today’s earworm he worked the entire production end and ran the most pristine vocals every recorded through filters and noise until they were no longer pristine and had a gritty feel to them.  This song is the first single from his new album, Destroyed and I’ve been obsessing since first hearing it.
