Blondie‘s forthcoming LP Panic of Girls doesn’t hit U.S. shores until this September, but the band is offering another early taste in the form of their Beirut cover, “Sunday Smile”. For the rendition, which is available below, Deborah Harry and company transformed the ukulele-led indie-pop charmer into a sunny, reggae-inspired track.

As previously reported, Panic of Girls was recorded recorded in Woodstock, New York with producers Jeff Saltzman (The Killers, Fischerspooner) and Kato Khandwala (Paramore, Papa Roach). Along with the cover, the LP features a guest spot from Beirut mastermind Zach Condon, who plays trumpet on a track. You know, ’cause you can never have enough Beirut.
