Wren Hinds Signs to Faber Alt.
We are so pleased to announce that we’ve signed a full publishing deal with the incredibly talented South African singer-songwriter, Wren Hinds.
Wren delivers a lush, textured and honest approach to crafting songs with a reflective lyrical sensibility that communicates deep profundity.
Since 2012, Wren Hinds has been building up a steady backlog of solo recordings which never saw the light of day until the first Bandcamp release in the summer of 2018 of Tragedy Hill, his debut full-length solo album. In March 2020, Hinds self-released his second solo album, A Thousand Hearts, this time working closely with his uncle and lyricist, Keith Erasmus on two stand-out tracks, ‘Sadness in the Wind’, and ‘A Thousand Hearts’. During lockdown, Hinds continued creating music and later that year in September of 2020, he released his third solo album in the form of a seven-track EP, A Child’s Chant for the New Millennium, a handful of songs recorded in his childhood home.
Hinds comments on his approach to music: “Creating a song or a piece of music feels, to me, like the act of surrendering to the unravelling of the unknown, somewhat like painting with sound, it’s an honest and natural process, just witnessing how this creation evolves into the most unexpected beauty and sometimes, chaos.”
In short – and in a relatively short career, Wren Hinds is proving to be a prolific songwriter, producer and composer, and an artist that is definitely worth keeping an eye on. We are excited to be working with him going forward and creating some great creative opportunities.
