Peter Gabriel has returned with new music!
The legendary songsmith premiered a track titled "Panopticom," which is the first taste from the forthcoming album i/o. The release coincided with the first full moon of 2023 and the single features cover art by David Spriggs.
Gabriel explained more about the song, commenting:
"The first song is based on an idea I have been working on to initiate the creation of an infinitely expandable accessible data globe: The Panopticom."
"Some of what I’m writing about this time is the idea that we seem incredibly capable of destroying the planet that gave us birth and that unless we find ways to reconnect ourselves to nature and to the natural world we are going to lose a lot. A simple way of thinking about where we fit in to all of this is looking up at the sky...and the moon has always drawn me to it."
