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.

Hey guys! Thanks for the request! Please let us know if you have any upcoming shows so we can post them on our page for you! Also, if you have a last.fm account we will add you to our player! :)
Hey, I really like your cover of For Love - I'd never heard it before! Usually I don't like covers because I'm too attached to the original, especially for beloved bands like Lush, but this cover's a keeper, and more proof what a talented band Hinterland is!
Don't forget to subscribe to our blog to stay tuned, there will be some more things coming up soon. For example our first album will be released shortly. ..
Thank you very much...we try to check on everyones interest's or the sounds they enjoy,..We like what you had going on your page...and figured we would take the chance, you would like what we enjoy the most...and thats make music...but for the most part... now that we got that horrible and cheesy statement out of the way....this looks like another typical, but somewhat long band comment... But heck at least its a comment... Right?
Really apreceate the trust you have given "The Auto Dropouts" as your spacy mates! Hope you are able to enjoy any of our songs ? Anyway - Best wishes from Sweden!
woooooow what a woooonderful sound... :o))) so thanks a lot for finding me & the interest in me or my projects... welcome on board of my little friendSHIP... please lets keep in touch... all the best... tyves
Thanks for the kind words John! Again, the mix was pretty phenomenal the other night; Michaela's vox sounded nice and spacey during the dreampop/shoegazey tunes. Looking forward to the next gig...
Well if the new album is as good as the title (pan pan medico), then it must be brilliant. Can't wait to hear it, or see you guys live again. Best wishes.
Pan Pan Medico is every bit as good as I'd hoped and expected. But (sigh) when I got your bulletin to contact my college radio station it occurred to me that when MBV and Ride were first making the sounds that came to be known as Shoegaze, I was already long out of college, whereas a big bunch of your fan base probably wasn't born yet. Oh well, maybe I'll just call my local geriatric society instead... :-P
And you can't judge by my picture over there... That's 10 years old, taken with a digital camera that uploaded its pictures to the computer via the COM port. A big chunk of your fan base has probably never heard of a COM port either. (Lucky, them.)
Not that I'm feeling old or anything!! Luckily there's no concept of age where good music like yours transports me.
