Moby’s next album, Innocents, is set for release on September 30. He has targeted September 10, however, for the release of the first single from the record. “The Perfect Life” is a collaboration with Wayne Coyne. Here is what Moby has to say about working with the Flaming Lips’ frontman: “Wayne Coyne and I ended up doing a duet on ‘The Perfect Life’: we sing the choruses together, and then go back and forth on the verses. Wayne and I first met in 1995, when The Flaming Lips and I were both opening up for a Red Hot Chili Peppers’ European tour. We became friends, shared a dressing room and the same bad craft services, and watched the Chili Peppers from the side of the stage. I thought of Wayne for this song because The Flaming Lips have evolved in this very open, celebratory band when they play live, and that was the perfect vibe for what I was imagining for ‘The Perfect Life.’ I texted Wayne and said, ‘Hey, I have a song – want to sing on it?’ Thirty seconds later, he texted me back: ‘Yes, send it to me, it will be great.”

A “Rooftop Acoustic Teaser” video of the song was just posted to Relix.com.
