Pitchfork might have come down a little too heavy on poor old Peter Gabriel. The man’s legendary status doesn’t necessarily give him a free pass on every art-wank project he undertakes, but there is a quiet beauty to his new covers album “Scratch My Back”. It’s the kind of record that would soothe you on your journey from drunken dawn to afternoon-hangover. Check out (and download) the moody piano work on his cover of Bon Iver’s “Flume” [via Stereogum].
If that ain’t enough, read the jaw-droppingly good tracklist:
