Written by the band’s co-founders, co-vocalists, co-guitarists and co-songwriters Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote, it features their first-ever fully Spanish language songs, as well as first collaborations with the likes of Beck and Fontaines D.C.’s Grian Chatten. Recorded in rural France, the album was produced by Pete Robertson (Beabadoobee), engineered by the GRAMMY-nominated Tom Roach, and mixed by GRAMMY-winning engineer Caesar Edmunds (The Killers, Wet Leg). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Shortly after the band made their debut ten years ago, they hit what felt like an insurmountable obstacle – they had to change their name from Deers to Hinds for legal reasons. But, as their fans began to greet them at shows by cheering “¡VIVA HINDS!”, the band soon realized that what initially felt like an ending was actually just the beginning. Fast forward to 2023, and VIVA HINDS was written by Cosials and Perrote after a series of endings. They hit a creative rut after releasing their 2020 album The Prettiest Curse, and their bassist and drummer devastatingly decided to leave the band. They also split with their management team, lost touring revenue due to lockdowns, and were without a label for the first time. But when Perrote and Cosials got together to write again it became clear that their connection, one so special that they call themselves “millionaires in friendship,” would be all they needed to get them through. VIVA HINDS – the most accomplished, sonically adventurous, honest and celebratory record of Hinds’ career – is only the beginning. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003e 1.

The St. Louis based band is known for pushing boundaries with the genre-blending indie rock with emo and electronic elements. Foxing follows in that vein of unwieldy experimentalism, with hardcore moments that haven’t been seen from the band before, and true depth of lyricism bound to take listeners on a journey. The tension is at the core of Foxing, an album that balances hopefulness and nihilism, the pastoral with the tumultuous. Whether oscillating between visceral rock noise and intimate bedroom cassette experiments on opener ‘Secret History’, or cruising at the edge of collapse on ‘Barking’, the dramatic dynamics that have long permeated Foxing’s music have never felt so extreme. The record was entirely self-produced by the band and mixed by guitarist Eric Hudson.

Throb, shiver, arrow of time traces the familiar metallic anatomy and viscous string modulations of his 2020 release skins n slime, while cultivating his inner compulsions following a procession of lauded score writing projects, including the films Aftersun (Charlotte Wells, 2022), The Stranger (Thomas M Wright, 2022) and Occupied City (Steve McQueen, 2023).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile working on Aftersun, Wells asked Coates how music could signal that someone is going on a trawl through their memory—a question that has stayed with him ever since and fosters a heartbeat running through the record. Throb, shiver, arrow of time is “all about inaccurate transmissions from our memories, overlaid with emotions from other sources,” says Coates. The release is imbued with the ache and glow of recollections mulched together, where the guttural dissonance of misremembering is shrouded by strange orbs of sentiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the record’s inner core is “Shopping centre curfew,” a swift yet cavernous track that emerged five years ago when two real world events, both occurring in South London during the pandemic lockdowns, became fused in a dream: the demolition of Elephant and Castle shopping center, and the discussion of a curfew as a real possibility for all men following a violent crime. A strange simultaneity occurred with this piece of music and Coates built the album out from there, a sense of temporal entropy refracting shimmers of lurking convulsions into lucid sonic topologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ten compositions of Throb, shiver, arrow of time find weightless melodies soaring across after-image gradients, magnified and compressed. Misted tones within “Please be normal” and “90” soften drone-soaked shudders of inner acoustics messing up. Vocal invocations appear from long-term collaborators Malibu and chrysanthemum bear, as well as drifting synth radiance from Faten Kanaan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrob, shiver, arrow of time furthers Coates’ reach in collapsing the digital into the analogue and vice versa, allowing serendipity to reorganize the material and push out against the confines of flatness. This sculptural approach to sound is deeply influenced by the intricate installations of artist Sarah Sze, whose permutations of visual matter with its own after-image form kaleidoscopic epitaphs for ephemera and emotion. Coates’ thinking about Sze’s work and processes flowed together with his own playing and editing techniques, superimposing the textural relief of a live take back into a composition, and allowing the sound to succumb to a dream of itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOliver Coates’ Throb, shiver, arrow of time will be released on vinyl, Japanese import CD, and digital editions on October 18, 2024.

And the Cosmic Rays too. It was around the same time that John Gilmore joined the band. I saw the possibility that they could be really great so I began to coach them; they were connected with a barber shop, but I taught them other things.” John Gilmore added, “We’d go down to the barber shops and rehearse some groups. Sun Ra had them singin’ some beautiful stuff. I think he probably was saving the from themselves. He heard them, heard their potential, snatched them off the street, and started making them do something constructive.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rare festive single from The Qualities, likely recorded around 1956, features Sun Ra as co-composer on both tracks alongside Saturn Records co-founder Alton Abraham. Sun Ra might also be the harmonium player on these recordings. Although two more songs by the group appeared on a Norton Records collection of Ra-related vocal numbers, these are the only known recordings by The Qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing two newly restored and remastered tracks thanks to Technology Works and housed in an exclusive new 7\" picture sleeve designed by Liam Large.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"K7","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44631262363804,"sku":"STRUT347S","price":17.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/0_67975215-87ce-445c-a37f-c5bd9d2d96c4.jpg?v=1733251694"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/collections\/back-in-stock-rom031224.oembed","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
