i\/o<\/em>, which reflected upon humanity’s connection to nature: “These are my lumpy bits \u2013 i\/o: the inside has a new way out and o\\i: the outside has a new way in.”<\/p>\nAs with i\/o<\/em>, on every full moon Gabriel will share one album track with two mixes (Tchad Blake’s Dark-Side Mix and Mark \u2018Spike\u2019 Stent’s Bright-Side Mix) alongside a chosen piece of visual art. With the Wolf Moon happening tonight, the album’s first single “Been Undone” (in Dark-Side Mix form) has now been released. The art for it is S\u00e3o Paulo artist Janaina Mello Landini’s 2019 work Ciclotrama 156 (Palindrome)<\/em>. “The way she takes the rope and moves it out, unravelling it, is almost like fractals or tree trunks and looks like the brain in some ways too, so I see a lot of entry points,” notes Gabriel.<\/p>\nIn an introductory video, Gabriel says the nearly eight-minute \u201cBeen Undone” was the most recent song he and his longtime bandmates (bassist Tony Levin, guitarist David Rhodes, and drummer Manu Katch\u00e9) developed at his Real World Studios, but that it expands on a chord progression and some of Rhodes’ riffs from a thirty-year-old demo called “Sit.” It’s got a pleasant, loping groove and lyrics that reference mitochondria and the Mandelbrot set. Gabriel plays keys on this one and Richard Evans adds mandolin.<\/p>\n
