6 Hinds – Leave Me Alone

I love this record. It never fails to put a smile on face, with its beautifully disjointed, wonderfully discordant yet perfectly made collection of songs. Guitars pick sweet melodies over the lo-fi indie sensibility, as raucous female Spanish voices overlap with one another, singing English lyrics. You know they are having an absolute wail of a time. Four mates doing their thing and you want to get up on stage and join them, which is exactly what twenty or so of the crowd did at the end of their gig at KOKO in February (HSD - Hinds Gig). What a terrific, feel good night that was and I walked out into the cold of winter enveloped by a nice warm, satisfied glow.
