<\/div>\n

Loneliness has always been fertile territory when it comes to songwriting: Three Dog Night\u2019s 1968 hit \u201cOne,\u201d Eric Carmen\/C\u00e9line Dion\u2019s \u201cAll by Myself.\u201d You know the drill. Madrid\u2019s Hinds<\/a> adds to that canon on Tuesday with \u201cRiding Solo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFeeling lonely is one of the most common human feelings, right?\u201d the band said in a release. \u201cWell, being a musician doesn\u2019t really help. Your whole life is constantly moving and the only thing that remains is yourself. And dealing with yourself. Oh gosh, we all know how boring and angering that can be. \u2018Riding Solo\u2019 is about this. About us. Perpetually on the move, being everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Surrounded by strangers most time of the day, being nines hours\u2019 time difference from our people and what we call home, living and dying por y para la m\u00fasica.\u201d<\/p>\n

The song features a languid video in which the band members lounge around a desolate landscape: They\u2019re pulled across the sand on a pallet, lie in inner tubes and perch on a red sports car. A garage rock burner, the fuzzed out track reaches a crescendo with the sing-along chorus: \u201cI\u2019ve been ridin\u2019 solo\/Ridin\u2019 solo.\u201d Despite its lonely subject matter, it\u2019s a light track that showcases a band that\u2019s just\u2026 fun. No fancy music journalism terms needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t follow too many rules about music in general,\u201d says Carlotta Cosials told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> in 2018. \u201cWe know the vocals are pretty fucking loud. We know sometimes it can even sound disturbing. But we like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hinds broke out in 2016 with their debut album, Leave Me Alone<\/em> \u2014 following that up with 2018\u2019s I Don\u2019t Run<\/a><\/em>. Rolling Stone\u2019s <\/a><\/em>Will Hermes<\/a> called that album \u201ca gem of indie-rock-revivalism, making faux-naif surf licks and Mo Tucker drum beats seem new all over again.\u201d More music seems likely come 2020.<\/p>\n
