In October 2013, Moby released Innocents . He had worked on the album for the previous 18 months and hired Spike Stent to produce it. Moby used several guest vocalists on the album, and picked Neil Young and “Broken English” by Marianne Faithfull as the biggest influences to the musical style on the album. As with Destroyed , the photographs used for the artwork were all shot by Moby. The first single from the album was ” A Case for Shame “, followed by “The Perfect Life”, which featured Wayne Coyne . A casting call for its video asked “for obese Speedo-sporting bikers, nude rollerskating ghosts, and an S&M gimp proficient in rhythmic gymnastics”. Moby promoted the album with three shows at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, following his decision to undergo little touring from 2014. He wrote: “Pretty much all I want to do in life is stay home and make music. So, thus: a 3 date world tour.”
