i/o is the tenth studio album[a] by English singer-songwriter and musician Peter Gabriel, released on 1 December 2023 through Real World Records.[2][3][4] It is Gabriel's first album of new original material in over 21 years since Up (2002), marking the longest gap between two studio albums in his solo career. i/o features 12 tracks, each with two different mixes labeled the "Bright-Side Mix" and "Dark-Side Mix". It is also Gabriel's longest studio album, with both mixes each clocking in at over 68 minutes and the total project lasting over two hours. An additional "Inside Mix" of the album (in surround sound/Dolby Atmos) is included on a Blu-ray audio disc with the CD package.

i/o had been in the works for nearly three decades (27 years and eight months), with its initial production dating back to April 1995, at around the same time Gabriel began recording Up.[2][5][6] He began planning the follow-up to Up as early as 2000 and had originally intended to release it in 2004, but the album was repeatedly delayed, reworked and re-recorded at seven recording studios (and one arena during soundchecks while on tour with Sting in 2016) before its completion in December 2022.[2] This was due to Gabriel focusing on other projects such as his two orchestral albums Scratch My Back (2010) and New Blood (2011), which contained covers of songs by other artists and rearrangements of his older material, respectively.[2]

Beginning in January 2023, Gabriel released a new single every full moon, with its alternative mix released on the following new moon, eventually culminating in the album's release at the end of the year; this replicates the 2010 double-sided single releases in promotion of And I'll Scratch Yours (2013). He has stated that he will release more songs in this format following the album's release. i/o received positive reviews from music critics, with praise being particularly directed towards Gabriel's vocals and songwriting. The album was also Gabriel's first to top the UK Albums Chart since So in 1986.[7]

Background

For Up, Gabriel reportedly had over 130 songs in various stages, of which ten were selected for the album.[8] He said that a follow-up album from this material, tentatively titled i/o (also an early name for Up), was intended to be completed by 2004.[9][10] However, the Growing Up and Still Growing Up tours over the next three years, as well as Gabriel starting new projects entirely, pushed this date far ahead. In 2005, Gabriel reportedly had a pool of 150 songs, which he had been working on with engineer Richard Chappell and percussionist Ged Lynch. Gabriel said he was "trying to write principally about birth and death, with the sex in the middle." In the interview, he discussed the idea of touring before recording and releasing the album.[2][11] Gabriel soon shifted focus towards 2010's Scratch My Back and 2011's New Blood.

In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, Gabriel mentioned that he had twenty songs in the works, saying "It probably hasn't moved nearly as much as I would have liked to in the intervening time. The songs are still there, but some of them I would redo now and there's some new stuff as well."[12] During the Back to Front Tour, Gabriel performed a song entitled "Daddy Long Legs" that would eventually become the third single from i/o, "Playing for Time".[13][14] Throughout 2014 and 2015, Gabriel posted consistently on social media about working on the new album alongside Chappell and Lynch.[15] Gabriel stated in a 2014 interview that he was working on more upbeat material because "it's very easy for me to fall into some moody stuff."[16] He also revealed that he was working on songs called "Here Comes Love" and "In and Out." The latter eventually became the album's title track, "i/o".[2] He debuted the song "What Lies Ahead" during a live show in Italy. On the 2016 Rock Paper Scissors tour with Sting, he performed the song "Love Can Heal", and additionally rehearsed new songs "Rock Paper Scissors" and "Radio Everyone".[2]

After a break from music for a few years in order to care for his then-ill wife, Gabriel returned to work on the album in 2019. Gabriel said he was working on about 50 ideas, with the intention of finishing the songs by the end of the year.[17] In 2020, Gabriel mentioned a song about aging called "So Much".[18] In July, he said that he had been "slowed down quite a lot by lockdown" but that he had "enough songs that I like to make a record I'm proud of."[19][20]

Recording

From September to October 2021, Gabriel recorded the first band material for i/o in Real World Studios, alongside drummer Manu Katché, bassist Tony Levin and guitarist David Rhodes. They reportedly recorded 23 songs.[21][22] Throughout the following year, Gabriel posted to social media a series of photos from these full band recording sessions, which were engineered by Oli Jacobs and Katie May.[23][24] Brian Eno also played a large part, contributing production, synthesizers and rhythm programming, electronics and sound design throughout the album. Other notable musicians include Gabriel's daughter Melanie, who has contributed backing vocals since Up, Real World Studios' former head engineer, Oli Jacobs, and engineer Richard Chappell, who has worked at Real World since 1987.[9] In June 2022, Katché said that the album was nearly complete.[25][26][27] Gabriel has said that the album, "to his ears," sounds "very different" track by track.[28]

Both Mark 'Spike' Stent and Tchad Blake contributed a mix of each song from i/o. Gabriel said, "Rather than choosing only one of their mixes to release, I have decided that people should be able to hear all the great work that they are both doing."[29] Stent's mixes are released as the 'Bright-Side Mix', while Blake's mixes are the 'Dark-Side Mix'.[29][30] All the songs have each also received a third alternative mix in Dolby Atmos, called an 'In-Side Mix', by Hans-Martin Buff.[31][32]

Promotion and release

In November 2022, Gabriel formally announced that after almost 20 years of anticipation, he was ready to release the album i/o, and tour with the new music. Not only does i/o stand for "input/output", but it is also the name of a moon of Jupiter.[33] i/o The Tour covered locations in Europe and North America throughout 2023.[34][35][36]

Gabriel announced on 9 January 2023 that he would be releasing singles from the album on each full moon, and the alternative mix (either 'Bright-Side' or 'Dark-Side') along with the In-Side mix every new moon. He has since stated that he might continue in this release format if he has enough stamina to keep up.[37][38][28] Gabriel has stated that a little over twenty songs were in consideration for inclusion on the final album.[28]

Every piece is accompanied by a bespoke piece of art (as chosen by Peter Gabriel), similarly to the way Us did in 1992, and Up did in 2002. The artists he has collaborated with are Ai Weiwei, Nick Cave, Barthélémy Toguo, Olafur Eliasson, Annette Messager, Antony Micallef, Henry Hudson, Megan Rooney, Cornelia Parker,Tim Shaw, David Spriggs and David Moreno.

The first single to be released from the album was "Panopticom", on the Wolf Moon, 6 January 2023. This was followed by "The Court" on the Snow Moon, "Playing for Time" on the Worm Moon, "i/o" on the Pink Moon, "Four Kinds of Horses" on the Flower Moon, "Road to Joy" on the Strawberry Moon, "So Much" on the Buck Moon, "Olive Tree" on the Sturgeon Moon, and "Love Can Heal" on the Blue Moon.[39][40][41][42] "This Is Home" was released on September 29, the Harvest Moon.[43] "And Still" was released on October 28, the Hunter's Moon, "Live and Let Live" was released on November 27, the Beaver Moon.[44] For this final single, the method of releasing the alternative mixes with a delay was not employed, since the album release date was just four days after the Beaver Moon; instead, Gabriel released all three mixes on the same day.[45][46]

On i/o The Tour, Gabriel has performed every song from the album, as well as "What Lies Ahead", a song that was considered for the album but was ultimately dropped, although it will be part of those pieces that will be released in 2024.[47][48][49]

On 28 July 2023, a listening session of i/o took place at WOMAD, revealing the track listing of the vinyl version.[50] All digital formats stick to the single release pattern.[51]

On 14 October 2023, Gabriel revealed the album's cover art, shot by photographer Nadav Kander, and announced a physical release of the album slated for December 2023.[3] Four days later, it was announced that the album would be released on 1 December.[4] The physical editions of the album include both the Bright-Side and Dark-Side mixes in varying forms: a two-CD edition with one mix on each disc, a two-CD plus Blu-ray edition that adds the In-Side mix, and two separate vinyl editions, each one featuring a different mix across two LPs. A deluxe edition is due for release in March 2024, featuring the contents of the CD, vinyl, and Blu-ray editions, while also including a large format book with extended liner notes and large format art prints and a poster. All physical releases of the album sport an Obi strip showing Peter Gabriel's signature.[52]

i/o currently has a score of 87 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 15 critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[53] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian named it his album of the week, writing that it "ebbs and flows beautifully" and describing it as "all clearly carefully considered, but it still sounds remarkably fresh as it touches, lightly, on a variety of Gabriel's longstanding preoccupations".[56] Sam Sodomsky of Pitchfork wrote that "beyond the fact that it actually exists, one of the big surprises of i/o is how uncomplicated it is" as it "reconnects with Gabriel's pop instincts" in that "he is singing big choruses, writing in simple verse about human nature, and trying to uplift".[60] James McNair of Mojo complimented Gabriel's voice, remarking that "none of its sumptuous richness has eroded" and called the album "something substantive, something deeply considered" and "heard in a single sitting, i/o is something else again".[58]

Helen Brown of The Independent commented that "the tracks on i/o grow both on and in a listener like seeds germinating" and concluded that "once you've processed the tracks on the 'Bright-Side mix' you can wait for a night-time drive to experience them on the slightly murkier lower-fi 'Dark-Side mix'. It's great to have Gabriel back."[57] Reviewing the album for Record Collector, Chris Roberts found that the songs "sound like Peter Gabriel songs have sounded since the 90s. Considered, cerebral structures are made accessible and enjoyable by a foundation of art-funk, with his rich, sandy voice providing emotion aplenty".[61] Steve Erickson of Slant Magazine stated that "while the 'Bright Side' mixes bring out the album's more dynamic range, the lyrics lack the edge of Gabriel's early music" and "the more subdued 'Dark Side' mixes only highlight those flaws. i/o is heartfelt and meticulously crafted, but its impact is muted by its splintered presentation."[62]

In a review for the I, Ed Power wrote that in practice, "the light side is slightly jauntier. The dark one has more bass, and Gabriel sounds glummer, as if he's been watching too much I'm a Celebrity", concluding that "if ambitious and well-intentioned, Gabriel's moonage daydream ultimately underwhelms".[1] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph described the album as "a sprawling yet gentle epic of the interconnectedness of everything" and noted that "rather than being overworked to ruin, i/o feels distilled to its philosophical essence" whilst "being gilded with layer after layer of beautiful detail."[55]

Pre-release

i/o received notoriety for its repeated delays, with Rolling Stone calling it the "Chinese Democracy of Peter Gabriel albums",[63] and Stereogum calling it "the Smile (or perhaps the Chinese Democracy) of art-rock."[64]
