Hippo Campus release official video for 'Violet'

Minnesota indie four-piece have revealed the official video for energetic, lighthearted track 'Violet'. Directed by Connor Gilhooly, this clip is a vibrant affair, with each band member dressed in and representing a different colour. The footage is also rather symbolic, with a tangible colourful object also reflecting the emotions of each band member. The track itself is radiant, embellished with tuneful rhythmical patterns as well as melodic choruses, one will not be able to stop foot-tapping along to the song.

'Violet' is taken from the South EP which is available now. Currently, Hippo Campus are touring numerous states in the United States, however, they will be visiting the UK in February 2016 supporting Little Comets on their tour. Meanwhile, check out the awesome video below!

[ALBUM REVIEW] Hippo Campus - Bashful Creatures

Hippo Campus are guitarist and vocalist Jake Luppen, bassist Zach Sutton, drummer Whistler Allen and guitarist Nathan Stocker. They are all from Minnesota and signed to Transgressive. Their debut-ep is called Bashful Creatures and it is a journey in a light-indie landscape where exotic sunshine lights up seven beautiful songs.

The ep begins with Sophie So, a charming track where a guitar riff that reminds Bombay Bicycle Club' sound is the perfect ground to a voice with glares of Kooks' Luke Pitchard. Little Grace is a joyful song just like Souls that has inflections of Vampire Weekends. Suicide Saturday is more sad with a dream-pop background, Opportunistic and the title-track maintain the fashination and happyness of the rest of the ep.
