Music videos


All three songs on the EP have a music video self-shot by Moby.

"Be the One" was shot by Moby while flying from New York to Los Angeles and edited by Jo Haggis.[4] The video features an extreme close-up of Moby singing directly into the camera while he is walking around in different locales, and reportedly represents the drudgery of touring.[5]

"Sevastopol" was shot by Moby while flying to Brazil to DJ with Carl Cox.[6] The video documents the trip with a first-person perspective, including shots of Moby riding in a taxi, flying in a plane, and performing at a show.

"Victoria Lucas" was shot by Moby at night in Los Angeles.[7] The video features black and white shots of the city that move to the music with a kaleidescope-effect.
