Cosmic prog rockers Gong have kicked off 2026 with a video for their brand new single, The Wonderment.
The song is taken from the band's upcoming album, Bright Spirit, which the band will release through Kscope on March 13. It will be the fourth Gong album helmed by the current line-up, following Rejoice, I'm Dead (2016), The Universe Also Collapses (2019) and Unending Ascending (2023).
"Boy, it feels like we've been sitting on this for ages so I'm delighted to finally share it... ON THE BIRTHDAY OF ALAN WATTS AND SYD BARRETT!," exclaims guitarist and vocalist Kavus Torabi of the new single.
This is The Wonderment, taken from the forthcoming Gong album, Bright Spirit. I couldn't be happier with how this one came out. You can watch the beautiful video, download from our Bandcamp page, pre-order the album on LP and CD or just stream in all the usual places."
Gong previously shared a video for Stars In Heaven, the first track released from Bight Star.
