Hippo Campus began generating a potent buzz not long after they released their debut EP, 2014's Bashful Creatures, and since then the group has won a loyal following thanks to frequent touring and their intelligent but tuneful indie pop.
Their strongest and most complete work yet, LP3 is a freshly-inked portrait excavating young adulthood, identity and, more importantly, how that personal identity fits into a larger camaraderie.
Ships 9/20/24 - Flood doesn’t need to tell you it’s important or interesting; it simply is, just by virtue of how it’s written, built, and rendered, a map of what it’s like to feel everything at once
Bush - Sixteen Stone 2LP (clear vinyl). 20th-anniversary remaster pressed as a two-LP gatefold on clear 180g vinyl, featuring Everything Zen, Comedown and Glycerine; dark, heavy, late-night alt rock.
Momma's Household Name LP (sand vinyl) tightens '90s alt riffs into propulsive, witty indie-rock; hooks and dry humor collide. Gatefold sand pressing; includes the singles 'Speeding 72' and 'Medicine'.
Hippo Campus pare their sound back to taut guitar pop on Flood, a 13-track CD on Psychic Hotline. Songs like "Brand New" fold bruised confession into precise hooks; vulnerable, restless, quietly insistent.
