Los Bitchos are a group of 4 based in London.
Here's what they have to say about this track: "La Bomba is a burst of energy and power. Josefine added in some epic finger picking and popping which gives it such a drive, think Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man after midnight) vibes, which is a huge influence for this song."

LA-based singer-songwriter Hana Vu said about "Hammer": I do plead with the world, or the universe, in writing. My writing of songs is where I feel inclined to ask questions and look for answers within myself. ‘Hammer’ is one of the first songs I wrote for this record. It’s one of those songs you write to yourself amidst existential crisis. Maybe that’s what all songs are.

Arlo Parks says on songwriting: “Sometimes I feel like being able to distill a really difficult problem that feels really impossible to digest in one go is actually a lot easier to filter through a song. It's also almost putting that sense of pain, or being lost, to good use. It feels useful in a way. I think that's a big part of why I share the music that I make, why it's not just me in my bedroom doing it only for myself. It's that desire to provide relief for others.”
