Today, the Madrid-based indie duo Hinds — a.k.a Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote – share another absolutely massive single, “Superstar”, accompanied by another self-directed music video. Rolling Stone recently called it a “soon-to-be Hinds classic”, as the song simmers delicately before it explodes into an empowering, if rageful, rallying cry: “Good job / Now you’re a local superstar / That only hangs with superstars / Carrying the weight of all that fame! / Carrying humanity’s joy and pain.” It’s the latest taste of their utterly triumphant and highly anticipated new album VIVA HINDS, out on September 6th.
“‘Superstar’ talks about the disappointment and the pain you feel when someone you love deeply, disappears with no explanation” say Hinds. “You feel worthless, you start thinking you never really knew that person and you question your shared past, and if what you remember really happened. It’s hard to let people go but writing this song helped. People need closure, and this song is ours.”
Hinds are back in the UK this September, playing a sold-out London headline show at Lafayette on the 13th, before returning in early 2025 for a full UK and European tour, now including a new show at London’s historic Electric Ballroom on the 26th of February. All dates and tickets are on their website now.
