Everything Is Recorded team up with Peter Gabriel and .idk. on new track, "Beyond The Brilliant Haze"

The track follows the folk and soul-inspired 2025 album Richard Russell Is Temporary, which was followed by the electronic collection Solstice Equinox and No Ends No Beginnings EP. It features production from Mike Elizondo (50 Cent, Eminem) as requested by Gabriel, as Russell reflects, “I grew up listening to Peter and was honoured to work with him on i/o and my own music and, after I’d immersed myself in making Temporary, still had some ideas for us that I was keen to pursue. Jason brought an incredible energy to the whole thing. Everything – including Peter’s suggestion to have Mike mix it – just fell into place at the right time."

Speaking about the collaboration, Gabriel says, “Following the writing sessions I did with Richard for his Everything is Recorded project there were some ideas that didn’t make it that we both thought were still worth exploring. 
Richard sent me some stuff he had worked on and I re-wrote the section I had originally come up with for the melodic part of the song. I always like it when people fuse disparate elements together, which Richard has been doing a lot in his own work, and bringing .idk. in on this was an inspired choice and provided some strong musical contrasts for the song.
I’m happy to see this work finally heading out into the world.”

"Working with Peter and Richard was a complete honour," .idk. adds. "I was honoured to hear back from Richard, and even more surprised when the record he sent involved Peter. But I've been working long enough at what I do to know that, even though it was a surprise, I was prepared to bring the best parts of myself to it. The result feels like a beautiful mess of juxtaposition."
