About the Album
** This song is EXCLUSIVELY available only on Bandcamp in order to collect proceeds for Ukraine. We encourage you to support both the music and the cause. **
Jesse Malin and Ukrainian-born singer Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello have teamed up for an impassioned new version of the Pogues’ “If I Should Fall from Grace with God,” out today, April 29, on Velvet Elk Records. All proceeds from the exclusive Bandcamp release will benefit the people of Ukraine in their fight for their homeland against Vladmir Putin’s brutal war of aggression.
“Universe knows Jesse and I bonded over Pogues years ago,” and it’s only natural that we sing this anti-colonial song for Ukraine now,” says Hutz. “This land was always ours! And no amount of Moscow propaganda can undo оver а thousand уеаrs of history. It is also a natural fit once again, since scientists uncovered that Irish people come from Modern Day Ukraine territory! And guess where I read that? In the Irish Independent.”
The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation supports the development of democracy, a free market economy and human rights in Ukraine, and the strategic partnership between the U.S. and Ukraine.
