Hinterland

new album out now!

About Me

Hinterland draws inspiration from the aesthetics of shoegaze and new wave, but the Vancouver quintet takes its influences and strives to create something new: a sound that drifts from darkly ethereal beauty to blasts of feedback-infused bliss. We call it dreamo.

Hinterland's third album, Pan Pan Medico, was released in February '08.

Hinterland's music is available for download from Zunior and iTunes .

the return of "For Love"

Bowing to popular demand (um... one person requested it), I have added "For Love" to the music player. As most of you know, this is not a Hinterland original, but a cover of a Lush song that we record...

New review from Sceneandheard.ca

Vancouver's Hinterland continues to move further away from the shoegaze sound of their first two albums. For their third outing, they've tightened their line-up and embraced a tense electro-rock sound...
