“'Superstar' talks about the disappointment and pain you feel when someone you love deeply disappears without any explanation,” says the team. “You feel worthless”
Hinds' long-awaited LP Viva Hinds won't be released until September 6, but Spanish alt-rock duo Carlotta Cosials and Ana García Perrote have been slowly releasing singles from it throughout the year. His latest, “Superstar,” focuses on the pain of being a ghost after a long-term relationship.
“'Superstar' talks about the disappointment and pain you feel when someone you love deeply disappears without any explanation,” the band said in a statement. “You feel worthless, you start to believe that you never really knew this person, and you question your shared past and whether what you remember really happened. It's hard to let people go, but writing this song helped. People need closure and this song is ours.”
Viva Hinds is the group's first LP since 2020 The most beautiful curse. They've toured extensively in recent years, playing Lollapalooza in 2022 and opening for the Strokes at a pair of shows in Brooklyn. They parted ways with bassist Ade Martín and drummer Amber Grimbergen that same year. “You may feel as heartbroken as we did, but thankfully music has the power to heal a hurting soul,” they wrote to fans in a statement announcing the news. “We've been through something very painful, but we'll keep going: We believe in Hinds more than anything else in the world. If you're in, we're in.”
The remaining members of Cosials and Perrote recruited bassist Paula Ruiz and drummer Maria Lázaro to replace them. The new lineup has spent the past few months playing club gigs in Europe and North America to build excitement for Viva Hinds. They're back on the road in October for a long run of dates that will keep them busy through the spring of 2025.
“Superstar” is the fourth single from Viva Hinds following 'Coffee', 'Boom Boom Back' and 'Ena Forma'. The album features guest appearances from DC's Beck and Fontaines singer Grian Chatten.
