Hiding Places

Hiding Places creates music that feels like a collection of polaroids found in a shoebox. It is deeply personal, rooted in the specific textures of slowcore and indie-folk, where every creak of a chair or hiss of a tape machine is part of the story. The sound is defined by a gentle, almost fragile delivery that makes the listener feel like they are sitting in the room during the recording session.

What sets them apart is the 'scrapbook' quality of their arrangements. They blend the fuzzy, distorted warmth of 90s indie rock with the hushed, skeletal intimacy of modern bedroom pop. The guitars often swell and recede like a slow tide, providing a soft bed for lyrics that dwell on childhood, transition, and the quiet gratitude of simply existing in the present.

Start with their self-titled 2022 release. It serves as the perfect introduction to their world, balancing catchy indie-rock hooks with the atmospheric, slow-burning intensity that has become their signature. It is the ideal companion for rainy afternoons or late-night drives where the destination doesn't matter as much as the thoughts you're having along the way.
