Previous praise for Hinds:
"Hard-sparkling
guitars and [Hinds'] out-of-towners’ approach to English make the
band’s classic indie references seem fresh again...their second LP is a
gem of indie-rock-revivalism, making faux-naif surf licks and Mo Tucker
drum beats seem new all over again." - Rolling Stone (4/5 stars)
"[Hinds']
second album displays the superior songcraft of the band, as vocalists
Ana Perrote and Carlotta Cosials wade through love’s messy feelings with
confidence and exuberance."
- Pitchfork
“Hinds
has an excellent grip on its particular brand of hazy, jangly music,
and uses the razor's edge between mellow and melancholy to maximum
effect. They wield their tools with the easy confidence of beginners
without sounding like amateurs.” – NPR Music
“Though recorded in southern Spain, the lo-fi tracks, with lyrics in English, have a distinctly American garage-rock feel.” – New York Times: T Magazine
“a
short, jangly collection of infectiously energetic pop songs that sound
like someone ran a '60s girl group through a shredder.” – The Cut
“Leave
Me Alone...showcases a knack for better songwriting than a lot of their
peers, lo-fi nostalgia that isn't just lazy imitation, and, best of
all, a bright future ahead. I'm excited about this band. Get excited,
too.” – Vulture

Madrid’s own Hinds have been on a meteoric rise since the release of their breakout debut album Leave Me Alone in 2016, which was followed by last year’s critically acclaimed I Don’t Run. Smashing all expectations for a band from Spain, Hinds have earned praise from the likes of The New York Times, NPR Music, Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, won over crowds at festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury, and have even started their own limited edition cruelty-free makeup line,
all while working harder, smarter and faster than their male
contemporaries to break the ceiling. Now, the band returns to end the
year on a high note, releasing their first song of 2019 via Mom + Pop.
“Riding Solo” finds Hinds
at their absolute best yet. A band that has grown as musicians before
our eyes, Hinds take a massive leap in songwriting and production to
craft one of their catchiest songs ever that still remains
quintessentially Hinds. “feeling lonely is one of the most common human
feelings, right?” Hinds ask. “well, being a musician doesn’t really
help. your whole life is constantly moving and the only thing that
remains is yourself. and dealing with yourself, oh gosh, we all know how
boring and angering that can be. ‘riding solo’ is about this. about us.
perpetually on the move, being everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
surrounded by strangers most time of the day, being 9 hours time
difference from our people and what we call home, living and dying por y
para la música.” Listen to the song and watch the Keane Pearce Shaw-directed video HERE.
