Blvck Hippie

**Blvck Hippie** is the brainchild of Memphis-based musician Josh Shaw, who kicked off the project as a solo endeavor before evolving it into a full-band indie rock act. Known for their DIY charm and introspective lyricism, Blvck Hippie mixes lo-fi textures, jangly guitars, and bedroom-pop sincerity to soundtrack the anxieties and joys of young adulthood. Tracks like *If You Feel Alone at Parties* and *Basketball Camp* capture the band’s knack for turning personal struggles—loneliness, existential dread, navigating messy relationships—into relatable anthems. Their 2021 Audiotree Live session (a standout in their discography) showcases their growth into a dynamic live act, balancing raw energy with Shaw’s candid, storytelling-driven vocals.

With releases like *Sport House* and *Silent Disco*, Blvck Hippie leans into hazy, nostalgic vibes while tackling themes of mental health and self-discovery. Though rooted in Memphis’ indie scene, their sound has found a home far beyond Tennessee, resonating with fans who gravitate toward acts like *Car Seat Headrest* or *Soccer Mommy*. Whether through studio cuts or live performances, Blvck Hippie remains unflinchingly honest—a voice for anyone overthinking life’s quiet moments.
