Hippo Campus - Landmark - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve. InchThere's a moment in growing up when it becomes clear that the road you walk is your own to cultivate.Inch A surprisingly profound sentiment for a band of 21-year olds. Nevertheless, it's a sentiment that animates much of the BJ Burton (Bon Iver, Sylvan Esso) produced Landmark, the debut album from Minneapolis' Hippo Campus. From the resplendent InchWay It Goes,Inch a guitar led gallop about the Instagram-filtered church of cool, to the propulsive InchBoyish,Inch a horn-kissed rumination on children of divorce, Landmark is shot through with a woozy dissonance between precocious wisdom and old-as-time coming of age stories. The result is a messy, brave, and earnest whole - not to mention, a tectonic shift forward for a young band still discovering itself.
