Filthy Hippies return with Waves, a breathtakingly immersive new EP that cements their status in the psychedelic shoegaze landscape. This is music built from profound vulnerability, translating simple human moments into massive sonic experiences. It’s an atmosphere you can wear, a heavy coat of sound that perfectly captures the sentiment of the track ‘Air’: “It’s like hearts, melting into flames” comment the band.

The Filthy Hippies is a Cape Town based alternative rock/psychedelic Shoegaze band formed in 2018. Known for their lush, reverb-soaked soundscapes and DIY ethos, they craft music that blends hypnotic textures with emotional depth. With layered guitars, dreamlike vocals, and a constantly evolving line-up, they’ve become a standout in South Africa’s underground rock scene.
