Hinds Release Debut Album – Leave Me Alone
Tomorrow will see Madrid-based quartet Hinds release their highly anticipated and already critically acclaimed d̩but Leave Me Alone. Since bursting onto the DIY scene, Hinds РAna Perrote, Carlotta Cosials, Ade Martin and Amber Grimbergen Рhave mastered a raw and playful sound all their own.
The album feature twelve perfectly imperfect and charmingly lo-fi tracks inspired by contemporary American garage rockers like Mac DeMarco, Ty Segall and The Black Lips, Leave Me Alone is an exciting introduction to the fun-loving quartet pioneering the burgeoning indie music scene in Madrid. Weaving sun-kissed, 60’s-inspired melodies, executed with a genius call-and-response between co-vocalists and band co-founders Perrote and Cosials, Hinds create the ultimate soundtrack to the best day ever – from start to finish – spent with your four best friends on Leave Me Alone. Featuring their first-ever single “Bamboo,” bright surf-pop tune “San Diego,” the mixed-tempo “Fat Calmed Kiddos,” a bitter ode to shitty boyfriends in “And I Will Send Your Flowers Back,” and 8 more tracks of pure garage rock greatness, Leave Me Alone is guaranteed to bring the Mediterranean sun to you wherever you are in the world at any time of the year.
They are also a compelling live band as you can see from their recent KEXP session:
