“There's only 3 of them, but it sounds humongous" - BBC Radio 3 - Jazz Now

Hippo thrives in the hinterland between jazz and electronica. Bursting with buoyant melodies and the adrenal energy of a band stretching their shows to the edge of possibility, the trio continues to make a colossal sound far beyond what their three-piece stature should permit.

Led by saxophonist and producer Doug Cave (Cousin Kula), the trio comprises noted members of the Bristol scene, all equally comfortable with the spontaneity of jazz and the expansive sound world of electronics. Assembling the music from a myriad of analogue synths and a sea of FX pedals, the compositions remain rooted with a strong melodic identity whilst bathed in a wild, raw and technicolor landscape.

Saxophones, synthesisers and drums go in, Hippo comes out.

Hippo will be playing their debut album 'New Normal' in full for the first time, as they tour in support of its release.
