MP3: El Guincho offers taster from new LP
Having kept us reasonably happy with last month's EP of South American covers Piratas De Sudamerica, El Guincho has made Ragged Words all hot and bothered by giving away the first MP3 from his autumn-due third LP Pop Negro for absolutely nothing. And it's staggeringly good.
It's impressive too given the Spaniard wrote 'Bombay' on a stopover at a Singapore hotel following an Australian tour before subsequently recording it in studios in Berlin, Madrid, Gran Canaria and Barcelona. Not bad, eh?
The full-length follow up to 2008's breakthrough success Alegranza can't come soon enough
