Drowned In Sound
Hinds are here to have fun, whether you like it or not. They may not push past boundaries they are comfortable with, but they have identified the qualities that make them special

Gig Soup
Hinds expand on their DIY vocabulary of buzzing, duelling guitars; nimble vocal interplay; bouncing, bopping bass and sympathetic drums. Viva Hinds!

There’s really something here for everyone, which is surprising that more people aren’t talking about it. Run…run to this album

No Ripcord
I Don’t Run never ventures too far away from convention, but it doesn’t need to. It’s that familiarity that allows them to ramp up the sentimentality without coming across as kitsch

The Line Of Best Fit
It takes the already colourful palette that the group used for Leave Me Alone and expands on every aspect of it, imbuing it with the sort of fizz and crackle that you can’t fake

The Independent
If you’re looking for smooth guitar riffs and auto-tuned vocals, you won’t find it on I Don’t Run: Hinds thrives on their imperfections and that’s the point

The 405
Every instrument feels perfectly in place to create a wide range of songs. Varying emotions and a distinctly more mature Hinds

On paper Hinds may seem like any other indie band who jump around with their guitars, but the songs they write are pertinent and affectionate, and I Don’t Run basks in that vitality

God Is In The TV
More songs in Spanish could add to their authenticity and diversifying the elements of the genre could have made the album more interesting. Yet they are still one of the most bona fide groups in indie music today

I Don’t Run is a pleasant enough listen, and one that would happily soundtrack many a summer barbecue, but it falls short of the promise of their debut
