The release of the track coincides with the release of the Spanish band’s new album ‘VIVA HINDS’, which also features the singles ‘Boom Boom Back’ featuring Beck, ‘The Bed, The Room, The Rain and You’ and their first ever Spanish single ‘En Forma’.
On the subject of the collaboration, Hinds said: “Grian is a good old friend. We met in Dublin when we played together in one of their first shows as Fontaines.
“We have so much love and admiration between bands, and they all have been such a big support for us in the last years. ’Stranger’ contains the toughest theme we sing about in ‘Viva Hinds’. Feeling the heaviness of existence and not recognising your own self. Fontaines D.C. taught us to embrace that darkness.”

The album was produced by Pete Robertson (Beabadoobee), engineered by the GRAMMY-nominated Tom Roach, and mixed by GRAMMY-winning engineer Caesar Edmunds (The Killers, Wet Leg).
Hinds are set to embark on a sold out tour later this month. They will play shows in Brighton, Paris, Munich, Berlin and more, returning to the UK in September to play London’s Lafayette on the 13.

“We’ve been through something very hurtful but we’re gonna carry on: we believe in Hinds more than anything in the world. If you’re in, we are in.”
