"...got me in my feelings." : the albums, 2018.


12/drinks/hippo lite

on their second album together, cate lebon and tim presley take us away to an intimate art rock wonderland. a place where jaunty, and often times chaotic and ramshackle ditties bump up against sparse and gorgeous bare bones instrumental compositions that play like mood pieces. with hippo lite, the post punk duo create a beautiful wall of sounds, treating each song like a collage whose separate parts come together to form a finished product that plays like it was created to soundtrack some far off fantastical land in the great beyond. for little more than a half hour, cate and tim take us to the inner depths of their creative and whimsical abilities, leaving us in a state of wonder and atmospheric bliss at this trip's end. an all around fantastic voyage.
