For nearly a year, Peter Gabriel has been teasing his new album, i/o, by releasing a single to coincide with a full moon. On December 1st, he’ll finally unveil the project in full.
i/o marks Gabriel’s first album of new, original material in more than two decades. A bevy of musicians and producers contributed to the record, including guitarist Gabriel’s longtime collaborators Brian Eno, guitarist David Rhodes, bassist Tony Levin, and drummer Manu Katché, the Soweto Gospel Choir and Swedish all-male choir Oprhei Drängar, and the New Blood Orchestra, among others.
All 12 of the album’s tracks are subject to two stereo mixes: the Bright-Side Mix helmed by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent, and the Dark-Side Mix helmed by Tchad Blake. The two mixes are included on the double-CD package, and are also available separately as double vinyl albums. Additionally, a third version – the In-Side Mix helmed by Hans-Martin Buff is included as part of a three-disc and four-LP deluxe set. Pre-orders are now ongoing.
Ahead of the album’s release, fans can stream several of its tracks, including “Panopticom,” “The Court,” and “Four Kinds of Horses.”
Gabriel is wrapping up a supporting US tour with shows in Austin, Dallas, and Houston this week. You can find last-minute tickets here.
