Since 1999's Play, Moby has been something of a polarizing figure in pop culture.
An erudite, Grammy Award-winning, peace-keeping vegan who looks like a baby wearing glasses and is one of the most successful electronic musicians of all time? Yep, that's a goldmine for mockery and jealousy. He's also a fascinating, funny, self-deprecating music nerd who loves what he does and never expected to be famous.
But he is famous, and the (much-deserved) hype has been steadily building around his brand new album, Innocents, which you can stream above right here on CBC Music a week in advance of its Oct. 1 release thanks to Arts & Crafts (available for pre-order here).
