I discovered this band in 2017...I met my ex around the same time and this album has been the soundtrack of our entire relationship, we went to a hippo campus concert the day we found out she was pregnant and we wore our Hippo campus shirts from that concert when she went into labor, we went to another HC concert a month after our son was born...we aren’t together anymore but this album will always have a special place in my heart
This album saved my life. It was the soundtrack to some dark times in my life and always brought a smile to my face. I would put it on the minute I woke up. Before opening my shades, before brushing my teeth, before anything else - I would press play on this album.
This takes me back to my first concert seeing them, their music has so many good memories and people associated with it. They are all chill and I can't wait to see them again when things open up again.
I've just discovered this band. Just playing their music in the background makes everything feel like an adventure. Please don't stop doing what you guys do; this is magic.
25:41 jake sings “with painted face, they're works of art / i swear to god i felt it then / the perfumed aura of wine and gin” again instead of “their east coast digs are works of art / but the sickness sleeps inside our bones / with solipsistic overtones” and it bothers me everytime i watch this haha
that'd be awesome. on my profile there's a link to a few acoustic versions (at the youtube space) that can be imported into spotify/apple music if that's any consolation
my personal preference would be landmark even though i don't have it on vinyl yet. but if you want a cool colored version there were lots for bambi so you might be able to snag one of those.
Once you start collecting you won't stop! Hippo was one of my gateway vinyls back in 2015 haha, now I have almost every variant of every release. But if I were to suggest landmark or bambi, I'd say landmark personally!
update, gf bought me bambi for our anniversary, looking at buying landmark now. Will probably also buy the vinyl for the third LP when that comes out :)
i will not be posting it until after it can no longer be watched as i don't want to deter people from directly supporting the band by buying tickets :)))
i won't posting anything from that stream until after after it can no longer be watched as i don't want to deter people from directly supporting the band by buying tickets :)))
that being said i usually release a link access only version a little bit early than the live post so keep an eye out on any of the one song videos i end up posting
