Hinds: Leave Me Alone Vinyl LP

First catching buzz in the indie rock scene in 2014, the Madrid lo-fi/garage rockers Hinds (formerly known as Deers, name change was due to legal reasons) releases its first official album, Leave Me Alone, on Mom + Pop. The youthful, lively quartet injects that very energy into the 12 perfectly imperfect and charmingly lo-fi numbers on the album, which is lead off by the no-frills single Garden and includes equally jovial and pop-leaning tracks like Fat Calmed Kiddos, Warts, Castigates En El Granero, Chill Town, and Bamboo. A very refreshing and exciting listen from start to finish!
