Hippies is the second long player from Austin's hardest working troublemakers,Harlem. As demonstrated by numerous self-booked tours including stints at SXSW and CMJ, Harlem have a reputation of making club gigs seem like living room shows (and living room shows feel like club shows).Hippies harnesses this energy in its 16 blasts of pure pop energy with anew dimension of songwriting that is as tightly masterful as it is true to a joyfully frantic primitivism.
