![]() How has the writing and recording process changed from Leave Me Alone, your first album, to I Don’t Run?Īna: For I Don’t Run, we had more time to write. A lot of times, we take it to the group, we change it, we bring it back to the two of us, and we change it again–it’s a really long process. Sometimes it starts with the four of us and we try to bring that back to Carlotta and me, or sometimes the two of us bring a few chords to everyone and we work from there. We’re looking for the chords that nice melodies can go with. Then there’s another phase that’s mostly melodies and lyrics–and that’s only Carlotta and me. Everyone is writing with their instruments in mind, putting it all together, thinking about things as a four-piece. ![]() And Alex Turner, lyrically and for melodies.Īna: There are two different phases. Generally, we always go back to the same ones. Which musicians do you go back to for writing inspiration?Ĭarlotta: We’ve had a new tech guy this past tour who loves his music–there aren’t many people who write verses about mountains. That’s the first rule with all of the decisions we make: it’s like, am I proud of this? Would I want to see Arctic Monkeys or The Strokes play this? We also want to create a Hinds festival, because we’ve been to so many of them and have all the clues to make the dream lineup for everyone. We were fans of so many people for a long, long time before we became musicians. When we were just starting, we listened to Black Lips, Ty Segall, Shannon and the Clams, Twin Peaks, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys. Can you talk a bit more about that?Īna: It really is. I think being a fan is really important in influencing the way that people create things. I think it was too late when we realized it was all happening, so we just went with the flow. Suddenly, it was like, oh my god, I think we can do this, and we fell in love with the sensation of making music.ĪNA PERROTE: Exactly. It just happened much later in our lives. Without further ado… Hinds!ĪLEX WESTFALL: How did growing up in Madrid shape the way you make music?ĬARLOTTA COSIALS: I think it’s kind of different for a Spaniard, because we didn’t grow up thinking that music was an option. They finished each other’s sentences and giggled together through each story–their lightheartedness and passion shone. It was like talking to a group of best friends who all happened to be excited about the same thing. While we spent a lot of our time together dancing to Warpaint (who graced the stage later that night!), talking with the girls only deepened my adoration for them. I’ve loved Hinds since my high school years, so I was thrilled to speak to them after their set in Barcelona. I’d say my favorite track is “Linda,” a bittersweet ballad about losing someone right in front of your eyes. They’ve been touring non-stop for several years, and their latest album I Don’t Run came out in April. Hailing from Madrid, the four-piece band creates tunes that welcome call-and-response melodies from its two lead singers, playful rhythms, and surreal lyrics that are at once assertive and introspective. Hinds is turning garage rock on its head. From left to right, the girls of Hinds: vocalist/guitarist Ana Perrote, Vocalist/guitarist Carlotta Cosials, bassist Ade Martin, and drummer Amber Grimbergen.
