Peter Gabriel has made a cover album with twelve songs from
an impressive list of artists. There are no drums or guitars in
these covers, it’s only Peter singing over orchestral
reinterpretations their songs. Peter has made one of his new
covers available before the album is released on the 15th of
this month.
Peter covers Arcade Fire’s song called “My Body is a Cage”
and I like it. I think I like it better than Arcade Fire’s original.
Below is Arcade Fire’s video of “My Body is a Cage”. Have a
watch and listen, ( I like the video), then click the link below.
Read Stereogum’s article on the album and listen to Peter
Gabriel’s cover and let me know what you think. I’d like to
