Wren Hinds (South Africa)

A fresh chapter takes a soft, sure shape for Cape Town-based singer-songwriter Wren Hinds on his new album. Released through Bella Union on 21st July 2023, Don’t Die in the Bundu follows Bella Union Pressings’ vinyl releases of Wren’s first three Bandcamp LPs. A gleaming set of gently dappled and poetic songs about fatherhood and fortitude, the album roots its restrained strength in an innate understanding of what matters most to us.

Wren’s own life began on the South-east coast of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. His father was a musician, and his mother was a landscape painter. While his dad inspired Wren to record whenever and wherever he could, his mother’s art form colored his approach to songwriting: “Painting with sound” is Wren’s description, a methodology illustrated by his use of light, shade, and space to communicate powerful impressions and feelings.
