Moderat share "EASY PREY" video ahead of MORE D4TA album

Moderat, the trio of Sascha Ring (of Apparat) and Gernot Bronsert & Sebastian Szary (of Modeselektor), have just shared “EASY PREY,” the second single from their upcoming fourth album MORE D4TA (scheduled for release on May 13). Possibly the most emotionally naked track on the album, the glowing electronic pop of “EASY PREY” showcases Moderat at their best, conveying innermost feelings with grand melodic gestures. Flanked by warm pads and fluttering synths, vocalist Sascha Ring leads the track’s moonlit ascent, his melancholic voice wafting through crystalline textures.  Watch the “EASY PREY” video https://youtu.be/c71FWFOmSV0  Although most of the songs on MORE D4TA explore universal themes, drawing inspiration from the grand paintings Ring would ponder during his frequent trips to Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie during the past two years, “EASY PREY” tells a more personal story. The only track on the album whose lyrics were written before the recording process began, it contemplates the relationship between love and independence, lamenting how vulnerable we become when the balance between the two tips too far towards the former. It’s a fraught tale, albeit a beautiful one, and a song where inner turmoil truly takes flight.
