Hinds have responded to the release of The Prettiest Curse by posting a cover of The Clash‘s track Spanish Bombs which they recorded during sessions for the album.

One of the many, varied delights of The Clash’s 1979 double classic London Calling, it was a natural fit for the band, as they explain:

“We’ve always loved doing covers. Maybe ’cause it’s the way we started, or maybe because there are so many good songs in the world already that we wish we had written! And we really enjoy Hindsifying them. The Clash were my mom’s forevers favourite band and Ade’s parents also, so it is always beautiful to connect generations through music.”

“As Spaniards, we don’t usually get shout outs in songs, like ‘New York’ or ‘London’, so The Clash writing a song about our civil war made us feel honoured. We recorded it the last day of studio, pretty much live, while recording our third album.”
