In a clean-cut, successful attempt at a sound evolution, indie rock band SINS release highly awaited EP ‘Algorithms’, a four-track collection of fresh, smooth guitar, combined with lyrics with that recognisable britpop feel… see track 2 ‘I Think I’m In Love (with a tory)’, that fans of old school indie music like Pulp and Blur will love.
Having been featured already on indie staple Radio X as well as BBC 6 Music, it’s clear to see SINS have a well earned place on the stage with the greats of the genre. Beginning with a bang back in 2019, SINS played sold out show one after the other at venues in the south, as well as playing the crucial warm up support slots for Circa Waves, Jaws, and The Family Rain.
Coming up with the concept for the new EP, ‘Algorithms’ stemmed from the idea of the ever-growing digital world we live in, from the algorithms themselves that affect which content we consume and which we don’t see, and which poses an issues for many artists and content creators no matter the size of the fanbase.
Lead guitarist Aaron Evans speaks on this concept:
“Algorithms are playing havoc with society, constantly censoring and determining what content we see, the news we read, what we buy, who we relate to, the politicians we vote for, instead of looking outwards to others and alternative perspectives, these algorithms are only allowing us to look inwards to ourselves - just like looking into a mirror”.
Prior to this release, SINS have veered towards a punk rock attitude within their music, remaining true to their roots while including thrilling dashes of guitar and experimenting with different riffs. However, ‘Algorithms’ appears closer to the musical inspirations and offers an impressive display of talent from people who clearly know exactly what they’re doing. Surely fans will be excited to hear these new songs in the return of the underground indie rock gig they all know and love. ‘Algorithms’ delivers on this hope in spectacular fashion and brings a fresh new flavour to a well loved genre.
