Hippo Campus’ New Song “Forget It” Out Now!
August 13, 2024 - By Psychic Hotline
Today, with the release of new single “Forget It,” Hippo Campus share another glorious preview of the best album they have ever made. Out September 20th, here on Psychic Hotline, Flood is both a superlative record and striking rebirth for a band of four best friends. They have spoken the same musical and emotional language since they were kids, all while surpassing a billion streams, selling out historic venues, headlining festival stages and attempting to navigate success and imposter syndrome through irresistible, hook-heavy hits that split the difference between sophisticated and satisfying. Singer Jake Luppen, guitarist Nathan Stocker, drummer Whistler Allen and bassist Zach Sutton learned to grow up by letting go, so after setting out to create their most profound LP to date – writing 100+ songs, getting sober, maintaining a regular routine of group therapy, and then realizing they didn’t actually like what they were making – they scrapped five years of work, dropped all preconceptions, started over and poured their most unguarded feelings into tracks like “Forget It.”
With “Forget It,” the band asks: “Do you remember falling in love? Who spoke first? What were you wearing? Does it play in your head like a movie, or was it all over in a single moment? However it was that your love story unfolded, and however you remember it, it’s meaningful…even if you forget the whole thing someday.”

Tomorrow, August 14th, Hippo Campus will ratify their Twin Cities roots, when all four members throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Target Field, for the Minnesota Twins home game versus the Kansas City Royals. The band then returns to the road for a SOLD-OUT run of intimate performances celebrating the release of Flood next month. Dates include LA’s Troubadour, San Francisco’s The Independent, Minneapolis’ First Avenue, NYC’s Bowery Ballroom and DC’s The Atlantis, with much more to be announced soon.
