Hierophants are an enigmatic band firmly rooted in the garage and post-punk scene, known for their experimental approach to music and art-punk aesthetic. Hailing from Geelong, Australia, the group consists of principal members Zak Olsen, Daff Gravolin, Paris Richens, and Jake Robertson, who are also associated with other notable Australian underground bands. Their musical style is characterized by a blend of quirky, off-kilter melodies, angular guitar riffs, and a willingness to push the boundaries of conventional song structures.

With a discography that champions a DIY ethos, Hierophants have made a name for themselves in the alternative music world with releases like "Spitting Out Moonlight" and "Parallax Error," showcasing their prowess in crafting songs that are as thought-provoking as they are sonically challenging. The band's most recent work, "Shape​-​Shifting Alphabet" and the single "I Don't Mind / The 16th," continues this trend, as Hierophants further refine their ability to fuse surreal lyrical content with catchy, unpredictable instrumentation. Their inventive sound and distinctive voice in the indie music landscape continue to garner attention from listeners who crave music outside the mainstream.
