Peter Gabriel to release new album ‘o/i’ with individual tracks dropping monthly during full moons in 2026.

Peter Gabriel made an exciting announcement on Saturday regarding his upcoming album, o/i. The unique approach to releasing this album will see a new track drop on every full moon throughout 2026. The album kickstarted its release with the lead single, “Been Undone,” during the Wolf Moon on January 3. This methodical rollout will stretch until December, culminating in the full album’s debut.

Similar to his previous album, i/o, o/i delves into themes of the future, technological evolution, and humanity’s intrinsic bond with nature. Gabriel describes the songs as a blend of thoughts and emotions, offering listeners a multifaceted experience. Each track’s launch will be accompanied by bespoke artwork, one of which includes a piece by Janaina Mello Landini, an artist from São Paulo, paired with the release of “Been Undone.” Additionally, producers Mark “Spike” Stent and Tchad Blake will provide dual mixes for each track – the Bright-Side Mix and the Dark-Side Mix.

While Gabriel embarked on a successful 2023 arena tour across North America and Europe in support of i/o, no official tour plans for o/i have been revealed as of yet. Fans can look forward to the gradual unveiling of this highly anticipated album as each full moon brings a new musical gem for their enjoyment.

In a time where instant gratification often reigns supreme, Gabriel’s decision to release o/i track by track over an entire year is a bold and refreshing approach to sharing his artistic vision. This deliberate rollout strategy gives listeners the opportunity to savor each song, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the music and its accompanying visuals before being introduced to the next piece of the musical puzzle.

As Gabriel continues to push the boundaries of creativity and storytelling through his music, fans can anticipate a captivating journey through the themes of o/i. With its thought-provoking exploration of the future, technology, and humanity’s relationship with the natural world, this album promises to be a compelling and introspective listening experience. Stay tuned for each new track release under the glow of the monthly full moons in 2026, and join Peter Gabriel on this innovative musical odyssey.
