HINDS New Song Review // “Holograma”
Gangly girl group HINDS releases new single, Holograma.
After releasing their critically acclaimed debut, Leave Me Alone, things have gone non-stop for the Madrid outfit. These chicas hold nothing back, and whilst selling out shows both in the UK and across Europe, it seems like everything is going their way.
Their rickety melody, scattered drum-work and all-over-the-place vocals somehow harmonise perfectly imperfect, and like the rest of HINDS catalogue, makes Holograma stand out from the wall of noise in the hype-machine.
Though this tune is in Spanish, making lyrical understanding difficult, it still speaks on a more primal level than most music you hear around today. HINDS definitely have something new and very different to attribute to the music industry today. Although Holograma is a cover of a song by Los Nasty’s – a fellow Madrid based band who were an inspiration to, and now friends of HINDS, the girls still manage to give the tune a touch of their own special energy.
The girls themselves explain the track in their own chaotic way:
first of all, you’re gonna notice this song is in spanish (OMG!)
second of all, you have to know we didn’t write it (OMFG!!!)
so with these things you would probably wonder what made us think it’s a good idea to record this song and release it??
are hinds going crazy and they don’t like their own songs already?!
NOOOOOOO! neveeerrr!!!!
the thing is this song is from Los Nastys,
the thing is that covering this song was the beginning of this band (or at least one of them, ’cause our beginnings are v confusing), it was the first thing we played after a break of almost 2 years..and covering songs from bands you love used to be a great tradition that people dont do that much anymore.
but the real thing is that we think Los Nastys are the best band in the world. since ever and forever.
and that all we have to say about this.
HINDS are set to play their biggest live tour to date, including a show at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town.
November
26 – Manchester, Academy 2
27 – Glasgow, Saint Luke’s
29 – Dublin Academy
December
