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 makes an absolutely colossal sound.

Noted members of the Bristol scene, they are all equally comfortable with the spontaneity of jazz and the expansive sound world of electronics, assembling the music from a sea of synths and FX pedals, the compositions remain rooted with a strong melodic identity whilst simultaneously bathed in a wild, raw and technicolor landscape.

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