Peter Gabriel has dropped the ‘dark-side’ mix of his third new single, What Lies Ahead. The new track is the third cut set to land on Gabriel’s new album “o\i”.
Going by how the singles keep coming out, with each one released in a ‘bright side’ mix first and then a ‘dark side’ mix, we can expect Gabriel to put out the new album in two differently mixed versions!
Before What Lies Ahead, Gabriel revealed the singles Been Undone and Put The Bucket Down.
The album will slowly take shape over the course of this year, just like Gabriel did with its predecessor “i/o” back in 2023. Each single will drop on the full moon. This time around, too, there will be both a “dark-side” and a “bright-side” mix, with Tchad Blake and Mark ‘Spike’ Stent on mixing duty once again.
Both previous singles are already out in both mixes, but we’ll have to wait a little longer for the ‘dark side’ mix of the latest one.
All three singles were written and produced by Peter Gabriel and recorded at Real World studios in Bath and The Beehive in London.
Below you’ll also find Gabriel’s detailed explanation of why he picked March 3, 2026 as the release date for the latest single! The moon was in its last quarter.
