Moby Releases Free Album Via Fake Trump Press Release
Moby released a new album, More Fast Songs About the Apocalypse, as a free download. The songwriter-producer announced the project with a fake press release "from the desk of John Miller" – the fictional publicist whom Donald Trump invented to chat with reporters on the phone in the 1980s.
The statement utilizes President Trump's often-mocked verbal style and Twitter shorthand, including his propensity for insults:
"The moby artist, who is old and sad, is putting out albums number 2 with the void pacific choirs - apparently "MORE FAST SONGS ABOUT THE APOCALYPSE," the release opens. "i can't say i like it but it's there. they made album #1 last year before my boss, donald j. trump (who is a real person, just like me) became the president of the united states."
The "publicist" also references the January report that Moby declined Trump's invitation to DJ the presidential inauguration: "moby artist was invited to inauguration (BIGGEST) but he didn't."
"Miller" criticizes Moby's new album as "very noisy," accuses the electronic innovator of "[hating] America" and calls him an "idiot" for releasing the album for free. "apocalypse?" the statement continues. "i don't see real horsies anywhere? SAD."
