Hippo Campus’ New Song and Video for “Tooth Fairy”
June 4, 2024 - By Psychic Hotline
Today, the indie heroes Hippo Campus share their scintillating new song “Tooth Fairy”! Marking their second slice of new music in 2024, following April release ‘Everything At Once’ (which generated praise from key indie press titans Clash, Dork and The Line Of Best Fit), ‘Tooth Fairy’ signifies a crucial career shift for the band. Recorded at their own studio in Minneapolis, Hippo Campus’ latest offering a quick-moving meditation on the confusion of interpersonal dynamics. The group smear bits of gentle psychedelia around a rhythm, riff, and hook that have the sleek lines of a sports car; the result is a dynamic wonder, a song that feels emphatic at the start but reaches full triumph by the end.
“Our dreams have become so twisted these days. We spend too much time filling our brains with useless shit that has nowhere else to go but to our dreaming state,” says Hippo Campus on the new song, “It all comes out sideways and in confusingly gnarly, mangled ways. ‘Tooth Fairy’ is a release; a process that leads to a letting go of fear and our athletic coping mechanisms.”
Alongside the single release comes news of their biggest UK headline show to date at London’s iconic Shepherd’s Bush Empire on December 4th. And with a series of one-off shows scheduled throughout the summer months, the band are also set to perform standout slots at Lollapalooza and Governor’s Ball.
