Rated: ***

As we inch closer to the deadline for YOUR lists for the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2024. Namely, before Saturday December 14th, 8.00 CET. We decided to deep dive into that folder full of albums we desperately had wanted to mention this year. We wrote about something like 250 albums and EP’s this year. But in that folder, there are still some 400 more that we had wanted to bring into your peripheral vision. And we are saddened that we will never get to that… But well, besides trying to keep up with all the new ones coming out, we’re now trying to bring into the spotlight one from every month passed that we unfortunately did not mention during the month they were released.

For July we revisit the Filthy Hippies album. Out on Mongrel Records it is called Share The Pill and boasts no less than twelve tracks that meander through psych rock, shoegaze, indie and noise. That slacker touch makes all their psychedelic melodies flow from era to era and touch upon all those wonderful influences to turn the album and the listener completely on. Yes! It’s all happening. Once again. And with so many lazy grooves to tune into the experience is as delightful alone as it is when shared. After some line-up changes the South African (now) five-piece emerges as the perfect drowsy trip, turning almost every track into a dream like mantra to fall in love with. Especially for those of you that like those oddballs, the chameleons that know how to sound hallucinogenic without becoming to trippy and seem to be able to whisper secrets in your ear without you noticing it... Buy this ticket..
