Hinds have announced the release of their sophomore album, I Don’t Run. Due out April 6th via Mom + Pop, the 11-track effort comes two years after the Spanish indie outfit’s smash debut, Leave Me Alone.
The quartet co-produced the new record alongside Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor). While the new songs are still as loose and fun as Leave Me Alone, I Don’t Run reveals a more reflective side of the band. “We’re not satisfied with [writing only happy, carefree songs],” says guitarist and vocalist Ana Perrote. “On this album, the struggles are clear. We want to be brave.”
Lead single “New For You” indeed finds the band putting on a brave face. Fans will be very comfortable with the track’s jangly lo-fi pop, but the lyrics reveal someone contending with their weaknesses in a quest to find their better self. “My feet are bruised from tripping up,” sings Carlotta Cosials. “Sometimes I see myself and I can’t stand my show.”
Check out the song below via its video, which sees the group playing a friendly soccer match with their mates.
