Description
Beloved Spanish indie rockers Hinds are back with their utterly triumphant fourth album, VIVA HINDS. Written by the bands cofounders, covocalists, coguitarists and cosongwriters Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote, it features their firstever fully Spanish language songs, as well as first collaborations with the likes of Beck and Fontaines D.C.s Grian Chatten. Recorded in rural France, the album was produced by Pete Robertson Beabadoobee, engineered by the GRAMMYnominated Tom Roach, and mixed by GRAMMYwinning engineer Caesar Edmunds The Killers, Wet Leg.Shortly after the band made their debut ten years ago, they hit what felt like an insurmountable obstacle they had to change their name from Deers to Hinds for legal reasons. But, as their fans began to greet them at shows by cheering VIVA HINDS, the band soon realized that what initially felt like an ending was actually just the beginning. Fast forward to 2023, and VIVA HINDS was written by Cosials and Perrote after a series of endings. They hit a creative rut after releasing their 2020 album The Prettiest Curse, and 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.Limited Edition two colour Magenta in Transparent Clear Vinyl, with Interactive Printed Insert and Belly Band. Indies only and limited to 3,000 copies worldwide.
