Following last year’s ‘Scratch My Back’<\/a> album, where Peter Gabriel reinterpreted a diverse selection of other artists’ songs, comes ‘NEW BLOOD’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

‘NEW BLOOD’ features re-imagined arrangements of many of Peter’s songs which dispense with the traditional weapons of the rock armoury – no guitar, or drum kits – the lyrics are exposed and laid bare, often taking new meaning with the passing of the years.<\/p>\n

This treatment is applied with painstaking attention to detail and stunning effect to songs including ‘Digging In The Dirt’, ‘Don’t Give Up’, ‘Downside Up’, ‘Intruder’, ‘Mercy Street’ ‘ The Rhythm of the Heat’ and the spine tingling, atmospheric ‘San Jacinto’. Working together, acclaimed composer and arranger John Metcalfe, Peter and the New Blood Orchestra have given each track a new depth and a powerful significance. These tracks were recorded with a 46-piece orchestra, conducted by Ben Foster.<\/p>\n

In addition to the album’s 12 songs, there’s a special bonus track of ‘Solsbury Hill’ (introduced by ‘A Quiet Moment’; 5-minutes of ambient sound recorded by Peter’s long-term engineer, Dickie Chappell, actually on Solsbury Hill).<\/p>\n

    NEW BLOOD’ was inspired by the concept of ‘Scratch My Back’<\/a> after Peter and arranger John Metcalfe started to apply orchestral arrangements to some of Peter’s own songs for the accompanying tour, culminating in a filmed concert, ‘New Blood – Live In London’, at Hammersmith Apollo on March 23rd<\/strong> this year which will be made available as a 3D, Blu-ray and standard DVD<\/a> – out on October 23rd<\/strong> through Eagle Rock Entertainment.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
