It’s wild to think that’s its been four long years since Hinds blessed us with new music, dating back to the pandemic summer of 2020 when the Madrid band released the aptly-named and still wonderful The Prettiest Curse (lead track “Good Bad Times” remains forever unfuckwithable). Hinds are operating as a duo now, back to the original combo of co-vocalists and co-guitarists Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote, and marking the return is a buoyant and bratty single called “Coffee” that reminds us why we fell in love with the band in the first place.
“’Coffee’ is a sincericide, screaming the nasty truth as loud as you can with no shame,” the band declares. “It’s about admitting to all the things you’re not supposed to like or doing all the things you’re not meant to do. It’s a lot of fun when you can be fully honest and shut that little voice in your head that tells you what you should or shouldn’t do.”
You said it, Hinds. “Coffee” was produced by Pete Robertson (The Vaccines, beabadoobee) and mixed by engineer Caesar Edmunds (The Killers, Wet Leg), and arrives just as they return to the States for a handful of SXSW appearances and a pair of sold-out New York City shows.
We can’t wait for more more more.
