Hatchie and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart have released a cover of The Jesus and Mary Chain's 1994 track "Sometimes Always".

The Jesus and Mary Chain's "Sometimes Always" track saw Jim Reid duet with Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval, and featured on their fifth LP Stoned & Dethroned.

Today (4 June), Australia's Hatchie has teamed up with The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart (who actually broke up in November 2019) for a new version of The Jesus and Mary Chain original.

Stereogum reports that Hatchie says of the cover, "It was a dream come true to record this cover of one of my favourite collaborations with one of my favourite artists. I’m so glad it’s finally getting released because it’s extra special to me."

Apparently the cover was meant to be released for Record Store Day 2020, but will instead be released on Bandcamp tomorrow (5 June), with all proceeds benefiting the Movement For Black Lives and the Loveland Foundation.
