Us Tracklist
US is Peter Gabriel’s sixth solo album, released in 1992, six years after So. US is one of Peter’s most personal albums, as it explores some of the relationship issues he was experiencing at the time. It is Peter’s third co-production with Daniel Lanois since Birdy.
In a sense this album was about relationships; on a personal level and on a more social, global level I think the same principles apply. It was a time when, after my marriage had broken up, I was doing a lot of therapy and really trying to learn a lot about what had gone wrong and I think it was a very important period for me. It [the album] was quite heavy for a lot of people in terms of content and also sound. Most records, particularly in America, everyone brightens up the top and makes everything bright, jangly and awake, and I was trying with this record to take a different approach, and make things duller. What seemed interesting to me, I think, to some other people’s ears just seemed bad. There was that issue.
