Check out “Welcome to My Island (George Daniel & Charli XCX Remix)” below.

Desire, I Want to Turn Into You is the first new album from Polachek since 2019’s Pang.

Peter Gabriel has shared a new single, his first since 2016. It’s titled “Panopticom.” Brian Eno plays synthesizer and bells on the recording, joined by bassist Tony Levin, drummer Manu Katché, and guitarist David Rhodes. Take a listen below.

In a press release, Gabriel shared a brief statement about the origin of “Panopticom”:

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. We are beginning to connect a like-minded group of people who might be able to bring this to life, to allow the world to see itself better and understand more of what’s really going on.

“Panopticom” is the first full track that Gabriel has shared from the long-teased album I/O, which has reportedly been in the works for 20 years. His most recent album of new material was 2002’s Up. He’ll tour Europe and North America later this year, but has not shared any further details on I/O’s release.

The routine “inspired the desire to to be free from the daily grind of societal pressures and to take in the little joys that all humans appreciate,” Decisive Pink write in the song’s liner notes.

Kate NV recently announced her next solo album. Wow is out March 3 (via Rvng Intl.).
