Madrid-based rock band Hinds<\/a> got together over FaceTime for the latest installment of \u201cIn My Room,\u201d<\/a> Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2018s new IGTV series in which musicians perform from their homes as a way of reaching out to the world during the coronavirus<\/a> pandemic.<\/p>\n

Lead vocalist Carlotta Cosials introduces the group, saying that she and her three bandmates are all broadcasting separately from their homes, as Madrid and the whole of Spain continue to live under quarantine.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been quarantined for, like, 14 days?\u201d she says, struggling to remember. \u201cI\u2019m not very sure \u2013 I think it\u2019s 15 days? I don\u2019t know, I lost the count, to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview with Rolling Stone<\/em>, Cosials further describes life in Madrid during the pandemic as \u201cpretty scary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI live downtown, so it would be like living next to Times Square,\u201d she says, \u201cand I have windows where I can see the street, and there\u2019s no one. There\u2019s been no one in two weeks.\u201d Cosials compares the experience to living in a village \u2014 the local birds have taken over the city streets, and though Cosials hasn\u2019t seen her friends in person for week, she can still have conversations with her next door neighbor from 20 meters away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For \u201cIn My Room,\u201d Hinds<\/a> performed two of their songs \u2013 \u201cNew for You,\u201d from their 2018 album I Don\u2019t Run<\/em>, and their latest single, \u201cCome Back and Love Me\u201d \u2013 by cobbling together separate video feeds of each of the band members performing, and then syncing them all together. In \u201cNew for You,\u201d Cosials appears in two simultaneous screens, for guitar and vocals, respectively. She did the same for \u201cCome Back and Love Me,\u201d in which her bandmate Ana Perrote also appears twice, performing keyboard in one screen and guitar and lead vocals in the other.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Cosials says the recording process over FaceTime was very challenging.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are performing the songs by listening to [the recording] from the album, but we are doing it separately,\u201d she says (In the video, you can see some of the band listening to the pre-recorded tracks through one earbud.)<\/p>\n

Each member recorded their parts separately, then sent the best take to Cosials, who compiled all of them together. The band initially tried to perform another song for the series, but there were \u201ctoo many silences\u201d on the track that caused her and Perrote to be out of sync with each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we are separated in different houses, even just a tiny bit of slowing down from the drums, or speeding up a little bit from the guitar, it feels like it\u2019s not synchronized,\u201d Cosials adds. She also says that they wouldn\u2019t have been able to play together live over video chat, as even the best livestreams are bound to have some lag or delay.<\/p>\n

Hinds will release their new album, The Prettiest Curse<\/em>, on June 5th. (It was originally set for an April release. \u201cThe coronavirus is something that is affecting a lot of our loved ones, so for right now we think all of our focus should be on staying safe and staying home, not promoting a new album,\u201d they said in a statement announcing the delay.)<\/p>\n

Cosials tells RS<\/em> that the recording process for The Prettiest Curse<\/em> was more leisurely than they\u2019re used to: \u201cFor the first time, we had time to sit down and not rush\u2026and think not only \u2018What do we want to tell to the world,\u2019 but how we want to tell it.\u201d<\/p>\n
