“please don’t think we’ve turned into depressive people or something, we’ve always been humans, it’s just we’re now showing it to you”
Madrid four-piece Hinds have announced their debut album, Leave Me Alone, set for release in January.
The band, in a Facebook post announcing the album, suggested the band will be stepping away from their usual sunny sound and into something more deep and meaningful.
The band explain how writing the songs separately while in their respective homes has informed the more introspective album: “we’ve been one year writing this album only while we were home, and you guys know that didn’t happen very often. but the good part of having to write songs so separately in time is that we wrote about very different feelings we’ve lived. these songs try to represent the 12 faces of love we’ve experienced.
it’s funny ’cause we thought this album would be all party and cheerfulness but . SURPRISE. it’s not!!!!! haha. feelings are more balanced, like in life. so suddenly we had a more sober -or even sad- album than we expected.”
