Bio
Pulling influences from dream pop, garage and 90s psych, Hyla is a project formed by Alex Hayes, Rob Stephens and Michael Antonas who have played and toured extensively in Perth bands such as Abbe May, Gum and The Silents over the last decade. HYLA is an outfit reminiscent of 90's psych classics like the Verve and Jesus and Mary Chain, with a taste of new wave influences such as the Church and the Cure.
The result is a swirl of fuzzed out guitars, layered melodic vocals, and a sound that is at once fresh and nostalgic. The bands latest single ‘Swam Out’ has been well received around Australia and overseas and is currently receiving Triple j play. HYLA’s debut LP ‘OSAKA’ produced by Sam Ford (Pond, Peter Bibby) was released in September 2017.
HYLA relocated to Melbourne in 2017 and will release their sophomore album 'Caravel' JULY 30 2021.

this has straw clogging thickness and i'm feeling light headed too after giving it a big slurp.

All about that droning wave from HYLA. Immerse yourself in their darkness.

Nothing but winners so far from HYLA in 2020. Incredible track. Huge rush of golden sound. This takes off in a big way.
