Hinds Announces New Album The Prettiest Curse for April 2020 Release and Shares New Video for “Good Bad Times”

A couple months after releasing a new song “Riding Solo,” Spanish rockers Hinds have announced their third album The Prettiest Curse. It’s out on April 3 via Mom + Pop and along with the album announcement, the ladies have also shared another new song, the album’s lead-off song “Good Bad Times.”

Like “Riding Solo,” the new song finds Hinds trading in their crunchy guitars and lo-fi approach for more textured instrumentation and cleaner, more pop-oriented production. “If baby Hinds could hear this record, they wouldn’t believe it—it’s so far from where we started,” said Ana Perrote. “It’s the first time we truly enjoyed the process and didn’t ever feel we had something to prove. I’m so proud that we just let ourselves have fun, and never held back from doing what we wanted.”

The song is about the struggle of communication in a relationship, as the band puts it, “That part in the movies when two people in a relationship are living complete opposite realities? when one thinks everything is great and the other one is about to drown?”
