Hinds: VIVA HINDS
Beloved Spanish indie rockers Hinds are releasing their utterly triumphant fourth album, VIVA HINDS on September 6th, it was written by the band’s co-founders, co-vocalists, co-guitarists and co-songwriters Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote after a series of endings. Hitting a creative rut following the release of their 2020 album The Prettiest Curse, their bassist and drummer devastatingly decided to leave the band. They also split with their management team, lost touring revenue due to lockdowns, and were without a label for the first time. But when Perrote and Cosials got together to write again, it became clear that their connection, one so special that they call themselves “millionaires in friendship,” would be all they needed to get them through. VIVA HINDS – the most accomplished, sonically adventurous, honest and celebratory record of Hinds’ career – is only the beginning.
Recorded in rural France, the album was produced by Pete Robertson (Beabadoobee), engineered by the GRAMMY-nominated Tom Roach, and mixed by GRAMMY-winning engineer Caesar Edmunds (The Killers, Wet Leg). It also features the band’s first-ever Spanish language songs, as well as collaborations with Beck and Fontaines D.C.’s Grian Chatten.
Hinds have created the most accomplished album of their careers, one that celebrates their shared history and reaffirms that this band is in it for the long haul with VIVA HINDS, expect to hear much more in the coming months.
