Less than a year after the project's debut, Moby & the Void Pacific Choir return with a follow-up, More Fast Songs About the Apocalypse. The aptly titled sequel to 2016's These Systems Are Failing is another abrasive collection of hardcore and post-punk ravers that should please fans of Moby's one-off solo punk experiment, 1996's Animal Rights. The spirits of major Moby influences like Agnostic Front and Mission of Burma can be heard throughout Apocalypse, from the manic pounding of "Trust" and the unrelenting anxiety of "If Only a Correction of All We've Been" to the rhythmic drone of "A Softer War" and the digital mayhem of "All the Hurts We Made. " There's even a semi-industrial/EBM-lite bend to the album -- think Trent Reznor gone pop -- that adds buzz and grit to his drum loops and wounded vocals. Much of the album bleeds together and tends to sound the same -- the persistent throbbing is the heartbeat that keeps Apocalypse going -- but at a swift nine songs, it manages to be an appropriate dose of angst and frustration that taps into the producer's pissed off, social activist side. The shadow of the 2016 United States presidential election looms large over the project. The outspoken artist's anger and exhaustion is palpable, so even songs about simple heartbreak and loss come packed with a gravitas borne of wider issues (the desperate "There's Nothing Wrong with the World There's Something Wrong with Me" is a fine example) . On "In This Cold Place, " Moby sings, "I'm tired/of feeling like it's prison without walls/And I'm tired of feeling so alone and nothing more. " Whether his fatigue is the result of a failed connection or the futility felt in uncertain times, the sentiment will be painfully familiar to anyone who's ever thrown their hands up in resignation to the fates. Those in search of another "Porcelain" or "Bodyrock" might want to look elsewhere: Apocalypse is a refreshing change of pace, a frantically urgent statement that taps into the visceral with a welcome blast of noise from a voice that still has much to say. ~ Neil Z. Yeung

Okie
By Gill, Vince
GRAMMY Award-winning MCA Nashville country star Vince Gill announced that his new album, Okie, will be released on August 23. Gill wrote or co-wrote all 12 songs on Okie. The album s title is taken from the once-derogatory term used to disparage migrants from Oklahoma to the nation s west coast during the Dust Bowl and Great Depression eras. A proud Oklahoman, Gill has appropriated this term on an album that embraces his roots and explores some of the most important issues of our time. I thought this was going to be a songwriter record, not a concept album, Gill says. It wound up being more information than I d envisioned. A friend sent me an email saying, You could have only written this record after living a 60-year-plus life. He said, There s no struggle in these songs, just truth and your experience. Okie marks Gill s most recent solo album since 2016 s Down To My Last Bad Habit and 2011 s Guitar Slinger. In 2013, Gill partnered with famed steel guitarist Paul Franklin on Bakersfield as a tribute to the Bakersfield sound of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. With 21 GRAMMY Awards to his credit. Gill has solidified his place as country music s most eloquent and impassioned champion. He is both a world-class musician and a wide-ranging songwriter whose compositions earned him entry into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007. Gill has also made appearances on over 1000 artists records. In 2017, Gill was invited to join the Eagles for their worldwide tour, and later this month he will again join the band for the European leg of their upcoming tour with stops in Antwerp, Belgium, Cologne, Germany and Amsterdam.
