Her reimagined version, out now on Domino, follows the release of Falling into Focus – Live 2020, Bob Moses’ first concert film and live album. Accompanying the remix is a video animated by Airplan Studio and directed by Owen Brown, which completes the arc of the original interactive “Desire” music video by focusing on the blue character’s storyline of pleasure; the video for Solomun’s “Desire” remix focused on the red character’s storyline of heartbreak.

The release of de Witte’s remix bookends an unprecedented year for Bob Moses as well as the entire music industry due to the coronavirus. Unable to tour, Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance took to the digital space with their weekly online ‘BobCast’ series, now streaming exclusively through Twitch. They released their third studio project Desire, a six-track love tale for the digital age: all about the positives and pitfalls of humanity’s driving wants, especially in these technology-driven times, bringing together a thematic style of songwriting with the flow of modern electronic music.
Falling into Focus – Live 2020, a concert film also directed by Owen Brown, and live album of the same name, followed. An hour-long set performed from an abandoned radio tower in Topanga, California, it comprised 13 tracks, highlighting material from Desire, their previous albums Battle Lines and Days Gone By, plus an exclusive live band version of “Desire”. Starting atop the skyscraping structure as night took over, Bob Moses slowly worked their way down the tower performing multiple sets in a variety of configurations, both as a band and in their original two-piece setup.
