EXETER CAVERN WED 20 OCT
"PINS have added a little electronic glamour to their latest offering as singer Faith Vern delivers the catchy hook" - Far Out Magazine
Today bold, post-punk, female trio, PINS shares another buoyant, bold and unapologetic single, Ghosting, off their third full-length LP Hot Slick, out May 29 via their own Haus of Pins label. The track features Nathan Saoudi from Fat White Family on additional keys, joining the trio of singer/guitarist Faith Vern, guitarist Lois MacDonald and bassist Kyoko Swan. The song follows a quartet of recently released singles: the glitchy and cathartic title track (produced by Jamie Hince of The Kills), anthemic Bad Girls Forever (produced by Rich Woodcraft), high-heeled skittering beat struts of Ponytail, and cleansing After Hours.
The vibrant album is filled with neon synths, loud guitars, and cheeky melodies that mirror the group's new boldly-hued imagery and create the sound of a girl gang refreshed and amplified. The 10 new original tracks found the trio welcoming a rotating cast of collaborators following the departure of their original rhythm section. Rich Woodcraft oversaw the entire project as producer and engineer, while Jamie Hince and Dean Horner contributed additional production and Nathan Saoudi of Fat White Family lent his talents on the keys. The resulting album highlights an expanded soundscape with nods to influences such as Soulwax, LCD Soundsystem, Suicide, and New Order.

Since the release of Girls Like Us in 2013, PINS has exuded strength in their danceable alternative post-punk transmissions and earned the trust, endorsement, and creative blessings of rock royalty such as Iggy Pop, with whom they collaborated on 2017's The Bad Thing EP. 2015's Wild Nights earned widespread critical acclaim including an Album of the Week nod from Stereogum and profiles in Harper's Bazaar, Interview Magazine, The Guardian, DAZED, and i-D. In recent years, PINS toured on both sides of the pond alongside everyone from Sleater-Kinney and Warpaint to Best Coast and The Subways. The band recently wrapped a UK tour and will announce more tour dates soon.
"It combines disco smoothness and crunchy textures with a frantic hook." - Stereogum on Hot Slick
