Peter Gabriel to Unveil New LP 'o/i' in 2026, One Song at a Time
Fans of Peter Gabriel are in for a treat as the legendary musician announces that his new album 'o/i' is set to arrive in 2026. The highly anticipated record comes nearly two decades after Gabriel's last original material release, with fans enduring an interminable wait for what seems like an eternity.
The good news is that Gabriel has promised to slowly release new music from the album, one song at a time, tied to the lunar cycle. Starting with the Wolf Moon in January 2026, each full moon will bring a new single, culminating in the Cold Moon on December 23rd. This unique approach promises to keep fans engaged and eagerly anticipating the next installment.
In a statement, Gabriel explains that the songs on 'o/i' are inspired by his thoughts on the future and humanity's response to emerging technologies like AI, quantum computing, and brain-computer interfaces. The album is a collection of "lumpy bits" – as Gabriel puts it – exploring our connection to nature, technology, and each other.
To complement the music, Gabriel will pair each song with an original work of art by artists from around the world. The first single, "Been Undone," has been released alongside Brazilian artist Janaina Mello Landini's visual piece Ciclotrama 156 (Palindrome), which features a fractal-like image inspired by brain structures.
Producing duties on 'o/i' have been taken care of by familiar collaborators Mark 'Spike' Stent and Tchad Blake, who are working on their own mixes of every song – the "Bright-Side Mix" and "Dark-Side Mix," respectively. While Gabriel has no announced plans for an arena tour to promote 'o/i,' fans can anticipate a similarly epic experience once the album is released.
As Gabriel teases, "We are not, and have never been, the exclusively self-determining, independent beings that have been given the run of the world." With his new music set to reveal itself in 2026, it's clear that Gabriel remains as relevant and inspiring a decade later.

so like peter gabriel is comin out with this new album 'o/i' in 2026 but he's not droppin the whole thing at once lol what a clever move one song per full moon who knows what kinda vibes he'll be bringin 
and i love that he's gettin paired with artists from all around the world for these visual pieces it's like a music video fest 
and brain-computer interfaces and ai sound like some heavy stuff for an album cover 
Peter Gabriel has been a huge influence on my life and music taste, and now he's back with a new album?! The way he's planning to release the songs one by one, tied to the lunar cycle, is such a cool idea! It's going to be like this whole immersive experience where you get to anticipate each song and really feel the journey of the album.
... honestly i'm kinda disappointed he's not releasing the whole thing at once lol, like what if we just wanna listen to one song all day every day? still sounds super cool that he's doing an art release with each single tho, and i love the idea of a "bright-side mix" and "dark-side mix"... it's gonna be like having two separate albums in one 
can't wait for january 2026 though!
peter gabe is coming back w/ a NEW ALBUM!!! 
but the good news is he's gonna release it 1 song at a timin, tied 2 the lunar cycle aka full moons 
i'm low-key hyped its goin 2 b all abt him thinkin about the future & humanity & tech & stuff 
cant wait 4 more!!
finally after all these years he's gonna drop it one song at a time with some sick visuals too that's such a cool idea, keeping us on the edge of our seats till jan 2026. also can't wait to see what kinda collabs he'll get from other artists around the world 
he says its abt humanity & tech & AI & all that jazz 
i had no idea peter was so deep lol anyway mark spike stent & tchad blake r workin on their own mixes of every song which sounds soooo cool
