Hinds Announce New LP 'The Prettiest Curse', Air New Single/Video "Good Bad Times"

Madrid garage/psych pop band Hinds have announced the release of their third studio album 'The Prettiest Curse'.

The follow-up to  2018's I Don't Run, was produced by Jenn Decilveo (Bat for Lashes, Anne-Marie)  in NY and will be out on April 3 via Mom + Pop / Lucky Number. Pre-order your copy here.

With “The Prettiest Curse” Hinds shrug off any remaining lo-fi accusations and unveil a widescreen beast of an album, not so much a shift as a quantum leap in their evolution as a band. This is a record positively bursting with life, with the band finally harnessing the full extent of their pop prowess and unleashing songs which sound bigger, bolder, and more complex than anything they have done before. Which isn’t to say they have turned their backs on being Hinds – quite the opposite in fact! Here, they double down on what, precisely, makes them so special – the bright melodies betraying heartbreaking themes of isolation and betrayal, the empowering, don’t mess with us all-girl gang glow - while going even further.

The band have also aired their new single and video "Good Bad Times", speaking about it, vocalist Cosial said: “you know that part in the movies when two people on a relationship are living complete opposite realities? when one thinks everything is great and the other one is about to drown? good bad times is the struggle of communication, time difference, distance.”
