There’s a special place reserved for the comeback kids – those bands who’ve stared into the abyss, only to return with a defiant grin and a killer riff. With ‘Viva Hinds’, Madrid’s garage rock darlings Hinds have done just that, and come out winning.

After weathering the storm of lineup changes and pandemic-induced chaos, Ana Perrote and Carlotta Cosials have emerged from their cocoon like butterflies armed with distortion pedals. ‘Viva Hinds’ is a battle cry, a celebration of survival, and a middle finger to anyone who dared write them off.

  • ‘Viva Hinds’ is a sonic kaleidoscope, a vibrant tapestry woven from threads of garage rock, punk, shoegaze, and indie-sleaze.
  • Perrote and Cosials have crafted an album where the raw energy of their earlier work is still present, but it’s now tempered with a newfound maturity and willingness to experiment.

Collaborations pepper the album like unexpected guests at a house party, each bringing their own flavor to the mix. Beck’s appearance on ‘Boom Boom Back’ injects a dose of his signature quirkiness, while Grian Chatten of Fontaines D.C. arrives for ‘Stranger’. With names like that, it’s notable that Hinds play well with others without ever losing their distinct identity.

‘Viva Hinds’ album is more than just a comeback; it’s a reinvention, a reclamation of joy in the face of adversity. It’s the sound of a band not just surviving, but thriving, inviting us all to join in their celebration. Long live Hinds, indeed.
