Hippo Campus have released details about their forthcoming second album ‘Bambi’ and released a video for its title track.

The US quintet once again worked with producer BJ Burton (Bon Iver, Low, Francis and the Lights) and the album was partly recorded in Steve Albini’s Chicago super studio Electrical Audio.

‘Bambi’ was partly inspired by the #metoo movement. “That really made us take a look at how toxic masculinity has influenced the way we see ourselves and the world overall,” says Jake Luppen. “In the past we might have been apprehensive about being super-vulnerable, but now we’re more aware of how important it is to come forward about dealing with depression or anxiety. Because if more men are able to do that, they might be less likely to express those feelings as anger or violence.”

‘Bambi’ will be released digitally via Transgressive Records on 28th September, physical formats will be available to pre-order on Tuesday 28th August.
