On 27 November 2026, 'o\i' – the follow-up to 'i/o' – is set to be released, just three years on. We have all the details.
On 27 November 2026, 'o\i' – the follow-up to 'i/o' – is set to be released, just three years on. We have all the details.
The tenth track for o\i is called "Face The Wall" about death and how to face it. Yet the track comes across as surprisingly cheerful – and there are reasons for that.
Following the longest track in July, Gabriel releases the second-longest in August – a track that comes across as cheerful and light-hearted.
As July draws to a close, Gabriel treats us to the longest track on o\i. And an old acquaintance reappears: the character Mozo, someone who has fallen from grace.
At the end of June, we get to hear the song "I Belong To The Sky," which was always one of Gabriel's favorites. It's an amazingly light and swinging number.
The track for the second full moon in May isn't quite as smooth as its two predecessors. Instead, Gabriel once again showcases his mastery of the abysmal.
There will be two songs for o\i in May. The first is – as you might expect – a rather calm track. But also one that radiates great optimism.
The fourth track on o\i is – just like on i/o – a cheerful, fairly short number. It's laid-back, even a bit unsettling – and not really trivial.
We've actually been waiting for the third Peter Gabriel track for o\i for three years. At least. Let us explain…
The second song by o\i is, at least judging by its title Put The Bucket Down, an old acquaintance. After already being discussed for i/o, it is now finally being released.
