Gabriels have announced a four-track EP, 'Blood On My Hands', due on 20 November 2026. Lead single 'Break It', featuring Say She She, is available now. According to Dork, which reports the news, it is the group's first new music since 2023.

The EP is the first Gabriels release since vocalist Jacob Lusk left in 2024. Founding members Ari Balouzian and Ryan Hope are carrying on as a pair, and instead of recruiting one new singer they have filled the record with guest vocalists: Say She She, Qing and Evita.

Who sings where

Dork's report names several tracks and who features on them. Evita is on the title track and returns on the closing song, 'Lazy Afternoon'. Qing sings on 'Eye of the Needle'. 'Break It' brings in Say She She. The source does not give a full tracklist or describe the sound of the songs, and EILISH has not heard the EP.

The band's account

Balouzian and Hope say Lusk told them he wanted to pursue other musical paths on his own after the run of success around debut album 'Angels & Queens'. They add that they understood his decision and wished him well, leaving the two of them working with what they call their wider Gabriels family.

Looking ahead, the pair describe the band's purpose in these words:

"Gabriels has, and always will be, a collaborative project centred on making music that moves us."

Since 'Angels & Queens'

Gabriels finished touring 'Angels & Queens' in 2024, according to Dork. The album helped earn the band consecutive BRIT Award nominations for Best International Act. Dork's related coverage also records that Gabriels joined BRITs Week for War Child alongside Aurora, ahead of a ceremony held on 2 March.

Balouzian and Hope spent time on other work after the touring ended. Dork reports that Balouzian worked on film scores, including A24's 'Primetime', which Hope produced, while Hope continued to DJ. 'Blood On My Hands' marks a return to the band, with the guest vocalists now part of the recordings themselves.

No live dates or further release details were included in the source material.
