Peter Gabriel's first album in seven years is a Bob Ezrin-produced orchestral covers collection called Scratch My Back. It reportedly features reinterpretations of the folks mentioned above along with Elbow, the Kinks, Talking Heads, Lou Reed, David Bowie, and Neil Young. It's being called a "song swap," which implies some artists will also cover Gabriel, or each other, though we don't have all the details just yet. We do have a video of Gabriel and a string section doing Paul Simon's "Boy In The Bubble," before which he explains the project and introduces collaborator John Metcalfe, who's said (at Gabriel's site) that the album is acoustic, sans guitars, drums or "world instruments." So, many strings. This take on the Graceland opener happened at the WOMAD festival in July. We also have a possible Scratch My Back tracklist, but you know how those things go.Continue reading Peter Gabriel's Scratch My Back Features Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Bon Iver Covers...

In the history of classic rock, few big names have had a career quite like Peter Gabriel's. After all, it's hard to even make sense of his arc: This is a guy who went from '70s prog to an art-rock tinged with '80s new wave and post-punk to experimental pop auteurism to becoming an elder…
