Among the many artists covering Peter Gabriel on his upcoming And I'll Scratch Yours covers album are Montreal art pop giants Arcade Fire. Listen to their take on Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers" now.

Though this is a melody that was seemingly built for the band, don't expect the sort of enormous production value that they've made themselves known for. Instead, the recording almost sounds like a demo, with fuzz bass and pulsing drums dominating the mix. It's a rather minimal take on the song, but it works.

And I'll Scratch Yours will be available on September 23.
