Feels So Unnatural, Peter Gabriel

I’ve listened to this a few times and every time I hear it I feel like Peter Gabriel is saying, “I’m way better at this than you.” Also, the pairing with Hot Chip is kind of brilliant. Gabriel’s decision to tone down the Afro-pop guitar lick and represent it with subdued synths is just right, and his voice’s subtlety and depth adds so much. This is a good song (albeit a tad obnoxious/precious) that Gabriel has made much, much better.
