Hinds are well and truly back with their latest track, ‘British Mind’. It follows their April EP release, I Don’t Run. 

The Spanish quartet spoke on the ideas and inspiration behind the track, with member Ana Perrote stating: “Since we started touring the UK we realised more and more the “obsession” British people have with the sun. As we are Spanish we live everyday under the sun, but you guys don’t, and we noticed a lot of metaphors in songs about it, always relating sun with happiness. We always wanted to write about it and the end of the summer seemed the perfect moment.”

“In this song we talk a lot about us, Hinds, as a touring band (also why we shot the video in a van). We talk about feeling home everywhere in the world but nowhere at the same time. We talk about not being the girl that appears as a passive personage, but as an active one in the songs. We are not the “she” or “you”, we are the “I”. We talk about writing songs about your personal feelings, and getting claps after singing about a breakup.”

The track begins with the line “I am not the girl they’d sing a song about”, which becomes an overt pop song from the recognisable vocals enlivening each second that they are present. Thrown into the mix, guitar work sets the melody for the tune before hitting the bridge, where a solo connects one side with the other.
