Wow. When I say it's been a while, what it really means is that the last time Moderat released music was 2016. I was under the impression that the joint project of Apparat and Modeselektor was put on hold, but how about no!. Sascha Ring, Gernot Bronsert, Sebastian Szary are back! Looks like we will see a new project MORE D4TA already in May this year and it would be the first music they put out since III.

The album would heavily explore the past 2 years of Pandemic. They share, "Many of its lyrics are rooted in Ring’s frequent trips to Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie museum (often with his infant daughter in tow), where he’d seek refuge in the great paintings of the past while worrying about the future."

The album's tracklist is out and confirmed!

  1. FAST LAND
  2. EASY PREY
  3. DRUM GLOW
  4. NEON RATS
  5. SOFT EDIT
  6. NUMB BELL
  7. UNDO REDO
  8. DOOM HYPE
  9. MORE LOVE
  10. COPY COPY

To celebrate the occasion, the group has released new single "FAST LAND" and it's so goddamn trippy and awesome. Didn't expect anything else from Moderat. Check out the video below as well for an additional trippy vibe.
