After releasing a string of singles throughout 2023, Peter Gabriel has revealed the release date for I/O, his first album of new material in over two decades. The new album is out December 1 and features contributions from Brian Eno, XL Recordings owner Richard Russell, guitarist David Rhodes, bassist Tony Levin, drummer Manu Katché, pianist Tom Cawley, and others. Find the album art and digital tracklist for I/O below.
Gabriel shared his first I/O single, “Panopticom,” back in January, marking his first new song since 2016. He continued by issuing a new I/O cut with each month’s full moon.
“After a years-worth of full moon releases, I’m very happy to see all these new songs back together on the good ship I/O and ready for their journey out into the world,” Gabriel said of his new album in a press release. He has reportedly been working on I/O for the past 20 years. It is his first album of all-new material since 2002’s Up.
The new album was predominantly recorded between Real World Studios in Bath, England, and Gabriel’s home studio. Each I/O song got separate stereo mixes: the “Bright-Side Mix,” handled by Mark “Spike” Stent, and the “Dark-Side Mix,” executed by Tchad Blake. A third Dolby Atmos mix—aka the “In-Side Mix”—was handled by Hans-Martin Buff, and will be included with the three-disc version of I/O.
“We have two of the greatest mixers in the world in Tchad and Spike and they definitely bring different characters to the songs,” Gabriel remarked in press materials. “Tchad is very much a sculptor building a journey with sound and drama, Spike loves sound and assembling these pictures, so he’s more of a painter.”
