Hippo Campus have been busy bees this year. The indie pop act released their debut album Landmark in February. To promote the album, the band was invited to play on the talkshow Conan. The band's momentum did not stop there. Over the summer Hippo Campus played the huge music festivals Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo.
Hippo Campus just released a follow up EP titled Warm Glow. The EP itself is a short and sweet snapshot into the band's sound. Warm Glow is about 13 minutes in length. The first two tracks "baseball" and "traveler" are straight ahead indie rock songs that you can groove along to them with no problem. The third song, the title track, "warm glow" is a bit more complex. They sound like they are doing a pop rock impression of a song by fellow local artist The Pines. "Warm glow" is a slow build. It adds texture after texture to the track before is explodes then fades away in a minute long ambient (in the loosest sense of the word) outro.
Overall, Warm Glow is a decent listen. It would be something you'd put on to feel good or to have one when friends are over.
