Hinds "The Prettiest Curse"

Hinds "The Prettiest Curse" (p)2020 Mom + Pop Music

Like any 'brat pack' movie this album is a perfect coming-of-age showcase. When the initial intoxication of hype has mostly come down with the badge of 'the hottest Spanish band' passing to Mourn and then to Melenas it was the best moment to move away from the disheveled pattern of the first two slabs. And the girls just did it right. While "The Prettiest Curse" is not a winner in its entirety (arguably, "Boy", "Come back And Love Me <3" and "This Moment Forever" are the weakest points) the potential of the album's highlights ("Riding Solo", "Good Bad Times") makes me considering them something more than once-overhyped one trick ponys.
