Destroyed is an album/photo book -- Moby wrote the album late at night while touring, the book features photos from tour. Both will be released on May 17.

The site deftly merges music and images into one intriguing, interactive experience. Upon visiting the site, tracks from the disc begin playing -- you can listen to the album in its entirety (thanks to Soundcloud's API).

The site also contains a map of the world littered with pins. When you click on a pin, you can check out Moby's photos from around the world. Fans can also add their own images to the map by snapping pictures on Instagram and adding the tag "#destroyed." There's already a couple of fan photos up on the site.

Oddly, though, Moby doesn't appear to be on Instagram -- we reached out to his camp to check on this, but a search for "Moby" doesn't yield an account. Instagram has yet to be really embraced by musicians -- The National has a pretty popular account, and we've seen a few other band members up there, sure -- but we can see it functioning as a great place to follow bands if more music types hit "install."
