after a seven year hiatus, the legendary peter gabriel releases 'scratch my back' - a collection of classically orchestrated covers of material by acts such as bon iver, elbow, lou reed, radiohead, arcade fire neil young and david bowie, amongst many other esteemed artists. dubbed by gabriel as a 'swap shop of songs' and produced by bob ezrin (pink floyd, alice cooper), this is a beautiful acoustic album, boasting nothing more than the accompaniment of lush strings and gabriel's distinctive voice. includes unique versions of 'heroes', 'the boy in the bubble' and 'waterloo sunset'.
