Cape Town shoegazers deliver an emotive journey through reverb, reflection, and raw beauty!
Alternative rock/psychedelic shoegaze band Filthy Hippies unveil their long-awaited new EP, »Waves«, out today via Mongrel Records.
Following the release of their acclaimed single »Honey«, the EP sees the band diving deeper into their signature haze of reverb-soaked guitars, dreamlike vocals, and emotionally charged lyricism. Across its tracks, Waves captures fleeting moments of beauty and loss, swelling and breaking like the tides that inspired its name.
“»Waves« is best described by a lyric from »Air«; ‘It’s like hearts, melting into flames,” says the band. “We just tried to capture simple moments and put them into relatable songs.
Formed in 2018, Filthy Hippies have built a loyal following within South Africa’s underground rock scene through their lush, layered soundscapes and DIY approach. Blending elements of shoegaze, alternative rock, and psychedelic textures, they craft songs that are as introspective as they are expansive.
