On January 7, 2015, they officially became Hinds, a word that means female deers. As a duo, they recorded tracks like "Bamboo" and "Trippy Gum," which garnered attention. Their single "Demo" received praise from music magazines and notable musicians. After releasing "Demo," Hinds expanded to a four-piece band. Ade Martín joined on bass, and Amber Grimbergen became the drummer. They won the "Make Noise Malasaña" festival contest and recorded their second single, "Barn." Hinds played in London, Germany, France, and supported bands like The Libertines, The Vaccines, and Black Lips. Positive reviews came from Pitchfork, Pigeons and Planes, Gorilla vs. Bear, and more.
