Hinds: British Mind
Hinds have had an action-packed 2018 – they released their second album I Don’t Run back in April to rapturous reviews; the charisma and charm of their debut remained entirely intact whilst the band’s sound widened in scope and depth. Since then they have toured across the globe and played at some of the best festivals in the summer calendar, sharing their inimitable live show to exuberant audiences.
Now, the Madrid 4-piece share a brand new single titled “British Mind”, the perfect round-off to the band’s colossal year. You can watch the sun soaked accompanying video for “British Mind” HERE which sees the band making the most of roadside, gas station limbo and in true Hinds traditon it fizzes with energy and a damn good time.
The band themselves explain the track’s creation; “‘British Mind’ is a song that has been born, fed, recorded, mixed, and mastered during this summer in between festivals. The title and its phrase comes from an idea that has been chasing me every time the sun is used as a metaphor of happiness in so so many songs made by English people. The sun is “that something” you have to look for, to wait for, to trust that it’ll come back someday, and will take care of you again. So, as Spaniards, a sunny day for us is simply a must. We just count on it. It’s gonna happen. For sure. Actually, the song was written on hot, sunny days. Could you tell? Anyways, it is still not the beginning of a third album, it is more like an epilogue for I Don’t Run.”
