Tracks like "Riding Solo" and "Burn" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy hooks that will have you singing along, while "Just Like Kids (Miau)" brings a welcome dose of nostalgia with its 90s-inspired sound. But don't be fooled by the album's playful title - there's a depth and vulnerability to Hinds' songwriting that shines through on tracks like "Come Back And Love Me <3" and "Boy," where the band explores themes of heartbreak and self-discovery with candour and wit. Overall, "Prettiest Curse" is a shimmering gem of an album that showcases Hinds at their most adventurous and confident. With its infectious energy and irresistible charm, this is one curse you'll want to fall under again and again. So go ahead, dive in and let Hinds cast their spell on you. Cheers, darlings.
