The EP features five new tracks, and as well as the Iggy Pop-featuring cut, PINS are including a cover of Joy Division’s “Dead Souls”.
“We had talked about doing a Joy Division cover – I think it was Faith [Vern, vocals/guitar] who suggested ‘Dead Souls’,” say PINS. “Because we were in a rickety cottage and not a studio there was no isolation – so when people were recording parts everyone else had to be super quiet.”
Bad Things, the follow up to 2015 LP Wild Nights, was recorded in a studio along the Scottish Borders with Mark Vernon on co-production duties with the band.
“We took all the gear we could possibly find and locked ourselves away in the Scottish wilderness for a fortnight,” the band add. “[We were] expecting to do some demos, and coming away with an EP that we really loved. It was an immersive experience – there was no civilisation for miles around so we were free to make noise and experiment.”
Taken from the PINS EP ‘Bad Thing’ released on 24th March 2017 on Haus of Pins.
