HIPPO CAMPUS - Good Dog Bad Dream 12"

Label: Grand Jury

Forever giants of the indie-pop scene, Hippo Campus are no strangers to euphoric riffs, sweetly sad compositions and emphatic moments of explosive bliss. They’re blessed with having a style that evolves with them, never finding themselves victim to walking down stale or uninspired paths, each new tune is as fresh and unique as the one that came before it - and thankfully, this is very much still the case on their latest venture, the magnificent, Good Dog, Bad Dream EP.

Heading into the studio with no clear vision other than knowing they wanted to create great music, the lack of preconceptions only aided in creating their most cathartic work yet. Darkly comic lyricism fuses perfectly with scorching rhythms and deliciously experimental production, Hippo Campus find themselves at their most human and thus, their most alive. Full of unanticipated glee and harrowing uncertainty, Good Dog, Bad Dream is perhaps one of the most exciting EP’s released in recent years, it’s true excellence.
