Hikes is an Austin, Texas-based band known for their intricate blend of folky harmonics and math-rock dynamics. Often described as nature-inspired, their sound is a thought-provoking mix of acoustic-driven melodies, complex rhythmic structures, and emotively nuanced vocals. Formed in 2010, Hikes has fostered a dedicated following with their passionate performances and a heartfelt approach to songwriting that resonates well beyond the live stage. Their lyrical content frequently exhibits a deep appreciation for the outdoors, a central theme that harmonizes with the band's aesthetic and musical identity.

Over the years, Hikes has released a series of compelling recordings that showcase their evolving sound. "Mahal Kita," released in 2019, is a prime example of their affinity for rich, textural compositions, while tracks like "empathy" exhibit the band's introspective and often poignant lyrical perspective. Collaborating with other artists has also been a part of their journey, as seen in "Reciprocity," a split with Into It. Over It., demonstrating the band's versatility and willingness to explore new sonic territories. With each release, from the eponymous "Hikes" to "Friends," the band has cemented their place within the indie music scene, earning accolades for their unique fusion of genres and the emotional depth of their music.
