Saint Paul, Minnesota 4-piece Hippo Campus released “Paranoid” on July 16th. It’s the lead single from the band’s fourth album, Flood, set to drop on September 20th. Flood is a record and a rebirth, in which the Twin Cities childhood friends recorded with longtime producers Caleb Wright (Charly Bliss, Samia) and Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Waxahatchee) at Sonic Ranch on the Texas border last fall while finding out someone they loved had unexpectedly passed. “‘Paranoid’ is the collection of sun flares plastered against your eyelids after falling asleep outside,” says the band. “What’s left of whipping shitties in your self-conscious for too long. It’s a hard look in the unforgiving mirror and the sobering realization that not all questions have answers.” Hippo Campus exit the traditional label system to release Flood through an independent, artist-run record company founded by their pals in Sylvan Esso. On the heels of performing at Summerfest and Governors Ball. Hippo Campus will play Hinterland Music Festival and Lollapalooza. Find upcoming tour dates HERE.
