On June 27, it was announced that the next single would be "Lie Down in Darkness".

On August 15, the song's video was released exclusively via Wired. It was filmed by UK filmmakers Institute for Eyes, who also directed the documentary Isolation, among others. The video follows an astronaut looking back on his life of space travel, journeying through an architecturally heightened London. Luke Seomore and Joseph Bull, aka Institute for Eyes, said about the idea for the video: “The song has a graceful, very cinematic quality, so the idea of weightlessness quickly began to form. An intense otherworldly journey seemed to mirror the atmosphere of the song. Somesuch and Co helped us to put together a great team to make the video happen; we hope you enjoy it.” Moby said about the video: "It was great working with video directors Institute for Eyes, and I'm really happy with the final result. Their video really enhances the cinematic qualities in the song." Track listing
