Hippo Campus’ meteoric career trajectory continues to steadily ascend, playing to packed, over-capacity crowds of joy-filled and enraptured fans at Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza last summer, and headlining the Minnesota State Fair (the best of all 50 state fairs) in their hometown. Now that the holidays are past, the band is hitting the road again for a slew of upcoming US dates, including Seattle’s Neptune Theatre on 1/19 and Portland’s Crystal Ballroom on 1/20. To celebrate the first day of tour, the band has released a brand new mesmerizingly kaleidoscopic animated video for landmark album cut, “Buttercup,” directed by Noah Farrar.
