Always Centered at Night is the 22nd studio album by American musician Moby, released on June 14, 2024, through Moby's label of the same name, Always Centered at Night,[1] and Mute Records.[2] Moby's first release on the label was the album's first single, "Meduza" featuring Aynzli Jones, issued in June 2022. Jones also collaborated on Moby’s 2008 song Alice.[1] Similarly to his 2023 album Resound NYC, it features collaborations with vocalists on all tracks, although the tracks are new.[3] The album also includes a collaboration with British writer and musician Benjamin Zephaniah, who died in 2023.[4]

Background

Moby commented that a thread throughout his career has been collaborating with singers and although the album "continues [his] love of collaborating", the focus for Always Centered at Night was "working with amazing singers who might not be as well known as David Bowie and Gregory Porter".[3]
