When we final heard from Harriette Pilbeam aka Hatchie, the dream-pop star had launched a brand new music together with her husband/fellow musician Rinse titled “Kiss Me (Kill Me).” That was again in April. Last August, Hatchie hopped on a monitor with Wild Nothing (“Headlights On“), and before that, another song with Rinse: “Does It Feel Like Heaven?” This is all to say that it’s been two years since Hatchie launched her sophomore LP, which was Giving The World Away. Today, Hatchie returns with two covers on Bandcamp, the proceeds of which profit the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. The first is Taylor Swift’s “August,” which Hatchie has had up on YouTube for some time, and Billy Idol’s traditional “Eyes Without A Face.”
You’ll love “Eyes Without A Face,” significantly in case you’ve ever been curious to listen to what Idol within the vein of Cocteau Twins feels like. Listen under.
