Peter Gabriel to release new album on November 27

Peter Gabriel is set to release his new thirteen-track album, titled o/i, on November 27. The project, which covers themes such as technology and nature, follows his 2023 release and marks a surprisingly quick return for the prolific musician.

Peter Gabriel will release a new studio album, titled o/i, on November 27. The musician described the creative process as a marathon rather than a sprint, noting that the project contains thirteen tracks, making it the longest album he has ever released. The record explores complex themes, including the relationship between humans and the natural world, the passage of time, and the expanding influence of modern technology.

This upcoming release follows his 2023 album i/o, marking a relatively quick turnaround for an artist known for long gaps between projects. Gabriel, a founding member of the rock band Genesis before launching a successful solo career with hits like Sledgehammer, traditionally takes many years to complete his records. The short duration between these two latest albums represents a notable shift in his historical working pace.
