Wild Nights LP Out Now On Bella Union
US Tour Begins This Week
"The Manchester, England-reared all-female quartet Pins may be the talk of the indie scene — and look magazine-ready, to boot — but their ascent has been as uncontrived as their fuzzed-out, slightly melancholy sound."—The New York Times
"Citing '90s groups like My Bloody Valentine and Jesus and Mary Chain as influences, the band takes a jangly, straight-ahead approach to alternative rock on "Young Girls" --NPR
" They're just a very good rock band making very good rock music, taking a familiar stew of influences and just nailing the fuck out of them." --Stereogum
"Sonically it's indie-pop edged out with a feeling of questioning melancholy, and just a smidgen of menace, and from the second they hit the screen you wanna be part of their gang"--NOISEY
"Young Girls," a sunny-day indie shuffler that flows perfectly in time for the gentle winds of spring" --FADER
The likes of Haim should take note of how it's done"—Under The Radar (8/10)
To celebrate the release of PINS sophomore LP Wild Nights, the band have unveiled a new video for 'Everyone Says'. Shot by guitarist Lois MacDonald using Super 8 footage, the video represents " "someone really upset and contemplating whether they wanted to live. By the end of it we wanted it to look like they were reborn and survived." The video makes its exclusive premiere on The New York Times: T Stylehere.
Recorded in Joshua Tree at Rancho De La Luna with Dave Catching (QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal) and Hayden Scott, and mixed in New York with Ben Baptie at Atomic Sound NYC, PINS second album Wild Nights is out now on Bella Union.
Accumulating high praise and a growing fan base for their debut album Girls Like Us, along with packed out headline shows and tour dates supporting the likes of Crocodiles, Sleigh Bells, Warpaint, The Growlers and The Fall, tight-knit girl gang PINS have had quite a two years.
Following on from their first West Coast tour and performances at New York's CMJ festival at the end of last year, PINS have just supported Sleater-Kinney, Wire and Drenge on their UK/EU tours. They'll be returning to the US this week, with sessions at revered stations KEXP and WFUV alongside an appearance at Northside Festival.
