Hinds - Viva Hinds

Madrid’s beloved garage-pop outfit Hinds return to their roots—and to each other—on Viva Hinds, a bold and richly textured fourth album that marks a new chapter for best friends Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote. Reuniting their original chemistry, the duo crafts a vibrant, genre-bending collection that pulses with both defiance and heart.

Recorded in the quiet corners of rural France with Pete Robertson (Beabadoobee) behind the board and Grammy-nominated Tom Roach at the console, the album blends sun-faded melodies with sharp post-punk edges. Highlights include the bittersweet shimmer of “Coffee,” the rollicking “Boom Boom Back” featuring a sly guest turn from Beck, and “Stranger,” an introspective slow-burn carried by the unmistakable voice of Grian Chatten (Fontaines D.C.).

A confident leap forward that still carries the scratchy charm of a lo-fi cassette, Viva Hinds is the sound of friendship, freedom, and fearless reinvention.
