Filthy Hippies Release New EP: “Waves”

Filthy Hippies, Cape Town’s alternative rock and psychedelic shoegaze band, deliver an emotive journey filled with reverb, introspection, and raw beauty. Their highly anticipated new EP, Waves, is out today via Mongrel Records.

Following the release of their acclaimed single “Honey,” the EP takes the band deeper into their signature sound of reverb-soaked guitars, ethereal vocals, and emotionally charged lyrics.

Filthy Hippies

Across its tracks, Waves captures fleeting moments of beauty and loss, swelling and breaking like the tides that inspired its title.

“Waves is best summed up by a lyric from ‘Air’: ‘It’s like hearts, melting into flames,’” the band explains. “We aimed to capture simple moments and transform them into songs that people can relate to.”

Crafting a Unique Sound

Formed in 2018, Filthy Hippies have built a devoted following within South Africa’s underground rock scene through their lush, layered soundscapes and DIY approach. By blending shoegaze, alternative rock, and psychedelic textures, they create music that is both introspective and expansive.

Filthy Hippies have delivered a Confident and Cinematic EP

The new EP showcases the band at their most confident and cohesive yet. The collection flows naturally between vulnerability and distortion, reflection and release. Waves feels intimate and cinematic, solidifying Filthy Hippies as one of Cape Town’s most compelling alternative acts.
