New York – Over the past year, Hinds released their debut album Leave Me Alone, sold out shows throughout the US, UK, Europe, Asia and Australia, delivered their signature, no-holds-barred live show at festivals internationally, made their late-night debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and more. Today, Hinds keep the party going and announce a deluxe version of their debut LP. Not only featuring b-sides and rarities, Leave Me Alone Deluxe offers a unique and never-before-seen peek into the world of Hinds with cell phone demos. These demos – which were never meant to be heard by anyone but Hinds - give fans an exclusive look into the band’s songwriting process as they created their critically acclaimed, perfectly imperfect debut. Leave Me Alone Deluxe will be released on October 28th. The deluxe edition will only be available on vinyl – pre-order HERE. Tracklisting and a note from Hinds are below.
To celebrate the announcement of the deluxe album, today Hinds are also sharing a brand new animated video for their breakthrough single “Bamboo.” Animated and directed by Laurina Paperina, the video’s deceptively cute illustrations bely a hilariously dark, devious tale of rampant mischief from our four favorite Madrileñas. This video is based on the original zine that Hinds and Paperina created with Yours Truly. Get your copy of the zine HERE.
Hinds will kick off their final U.S. tour in support of Leave Me Alone next month. See below to find a show near you and get your tickets HERE.
A message from Hinds about Leave Me Alone Deluxe:
“hi! we are Ade, Amber, Ana and Carlotta and this is HINDS. Our first ever album is called leave me alone but this is the deluxe edition. So you can listen to songs you might not know we had and demos recorded with a cellphone.
About the demos, first of all, they are not demos. but we couldn’t find the correct way to call them. they NEVER were thought to be shown to the world. while we are writing we record ourselves with our cellphones so we can listen to it again on the bus or wherever and we think new ideas and how to make the song better.
ALL OF THE DEMOS we’ve chose happened when the song was just born, so we are making up English (?) words, or hardly reading the notebook while trying to remember the chords and the structure.
…but mysteriously, even thou all this shit, we love them. ’cause they take us exactly to the moment we wrote them. like a time machine. and we seriously hope this magic happens to you too and brings you to drink sangria at 1am sitting on a carpet with us.”
