Off the back of the release of Leave Me Alone, Spanish foursome Hinds have announced their return to Australian soil, debut album in tow.
Last year the recently re-named Hinds arrived in Australia for their first international tour. Between schooners and pots, late night gastronome and extended trips to Bondi, shows were played in dives along the East Coast. A year on, they’ve stayed on the road, booking dates around the globe and playing with greats at Benicàssim, SXSW (where they played 16 shows in four days), Burgerama, Best Kept Secret and Dot to Dot Festival.
With a now worldwide fanbase, having hundreds of Hinds devotees join them on stage for the rambling, beer soaked album track ‘San Diego’ – Hinds have quickly outgrown the gentle steed of their namesake into a fully formed, almighty, heartbreaking beast.
Following on from their much loved and highly rotated EP, Garden is their long-awaited LP, Leave Me Alone, released in January. Keeping things friendly, the album was produced by Hinds’ companion and often collaborator, Diego Garcia of The Parrots. It’s a twelve track representation of difference facets of relationships the young women have faced, a sadder but no less of a wild and giddy affair that charmed us in their early days of Deers.
We can’t wait for them to return with new songs and old faves, and they’re equally “excited as fuck” to come back to where it all began.
