British singer songwriter Peter Gabriel kicked off a little game of musical to and fro a few years back when he released his album ‘Scratch My Back’.
The 2010 collection contained a series of cover versions; reinterpretations of some of the singer’s favourite tracks from some of his favourite artists, among them David Bowie, Bon Iver, Elbow, Neil Young, Radiohead, Regina Spektor and more.
Now some of those artists are set to return the favour, with the forthcoming release of a ‘Scratch My Back’ companion album called ‘And I’ll Scratch Yours’.
On it, a number of the aforementioned names set out to cover some of Peter’s own classic tracks. Artists contributing include David Byrne, Bon Iver, Randy Newman, Arcade Fire, Lou Reed, Paul Simon, Regina Spektor and Feist, who takes on his iconic duet ‘Don’t Give Up’.
A double digi-pack edition will contain both the ‘Scratch My Back’ and ‘And I’ll Scratch Yours’ albums in the one release.
Both versions will be released on Friday September 27.
