The other day we heard the first sounds from Peter Gabriels' all orchestral indie rock covers LP, Scratch My Back, with his take on Arcade Fire's "My Body Is A Cage." True, we've turned a fine eye toward comprehensively covering this release. But for one, Scott's a huge Genesis/Peter Gabriel nerd; for two, Peter Gabriel's studio LPs come only once a decade; for three, that tracklist is ridiculous. And beyond all that, this version of "Flume" might just be the album's highlight. You know the story: In 2007 Justin Vernon holed up in a Wisconsin cabin writing For Emma, Forever Ago for the benefit, he presumed, of handfuls. Three years on, it's taken him around the world and earned him honors, although I'm not sure what could equal hearing Peter Gabriel imbue one of your melodies with his all of his unmistakable Peter Gabrielness. It's an extension of the For Emma story in that way, the idea of this young guy -- the youngest on a tracklist full of legends heroes -- who was singing to himself in the snow so recently now having his song sung by an icon. Another stanza in the poetry of Justin's story. But the sound of this cover, like the sound of Bon Iver's album, needs no external narrative to resonate, its breathtaking affect achieved in full upon hearing the painterly piano and tasteful brass over which Peter first bursts, widescreen, into that chorus. "Only love is all maroon." But it's not only love that's all maroon -- so is the heart of this cover album's cover art. Fitting, somehow.
