David Lynch directs new Moby video
Cult filmmaker David Lynch has directed the music video for Moby's upcoming single 'Shot In The Back Of The Head'.

The song is the lead track from the electronic musician's upcoming album Wait For Me, which will be released on June 29.

Moby said on his official website: "I started working on the album about a year ago, and the creative impetus behind the record was hearing a David Lynch speech at BAFTA, in the UK.

"David was talking about creativity, and to paraphrase, about how creativity in and of itself, and without market pressures, is fine."

He added: "It seems that too often creative output is judged by how well it accommodates the marketplace, how much market share it commands and how much money it generates.

"In making this record I wanted to focus on making something that I loved, without really being concerned about how it might be received by the marketplace."

The instrumental 'Shot In The Back Of The Head' will be available from Moby's website as a free download.
