Ambient 23

Ambiant 23 is the 20th studio album by American electronic musician, songwriter, and producer Moby, released on January 1, 2023. The album consists of around 2 and 1/2 hours of analog ambient music. Ahead of its release, Moby took to social media to announce the new album, saying that Ambient 23 was recorded using “weird old drum machines and old synths” and is “inspired by… early ambient heroes,” including Martyn Ware, Brian Eno, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Will Sergeant. In a separate update, posted on the day of the release, Moby wrote: “Made to help anxiety (my own, and hopefully yours, too). For 2023, may we all be less anxious (and may we all stop looking for validation from a culture we don’t respect…).”
