A Spanish lo-fi garage rock girl-band from Madrid – a strange combination that sounds, on paper, as if it would never work. And yet, Hinds’ boundless energy, sense of humour and mischievous side have won over critics from New Musical Express and Pitchfork as well as the ears (and more than that in some cases) of The Black Keys, Mac DeMarco and Bobby Gillepsie from Primal Scream. In 2014, the four girls were the opening act for The Libertines and Black Lips. Their third album, The Prettiest Curse, remains faithful to their joyously rowdy garage rock style, stringing together ten tracks with a sweet and sultry nonchalance, like the crazy and fun-loving Just Like Kids (Miau), and Burn, a track full of anger but harmless and light-hearted at the same time. They often bring to mind Courtney Love’s band, Hole, but without the Californian diva’s dark, dramatic side. Here, the music is fresh and fun, and you get the sense that this quartet is worth seeing live to fully appreciate its madness. – Yan Ceh
