"We were in high school and the main idea was, 'Let's : :' start a band and make our friends dance,'" Zach Sutton from the ': ,: band recalls. "There was no real context to what we were doing - :, : it was just total creative joy." But over the past five years, : :' that context has shifted dramatically. The world around them ': ,: warped into something bleak and unsteady, and reckoning with :, : mental health issues became more and more crucial. On their : :' sophomore album Bambi, the St. Paul, Minnesota-bred band ': ,: navigate that upheaval with deliberate self-reflection. :, : : :' The result is a selection of songs that drift into much darker ': ,: terrain, but unfold with a frenetic yet fragile beauty that :, : makes even the most painful moments feel glorious. Not only : :' driven by exacting introspection, Bambi was also shaped by ': ,: cultural shifts, including 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." Partly : :' recorded at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio in Chicago, Bambi ': ,: finds Hippo Campus working again with producer BJ Burton (Bon :, : Iver, Low, Francis and the Lights), who handled production on : :' their 2017 full-length debut Landmark. And in sculpting Bambi's ': ,: distinctly inventive arrangements, Hippo Campus significantly :, : expanded their use of drum machines and synth. : :' ': ,: Throughout Bambi, Hippo Campus match their relentless :, : self-examination with a joyfully adventurous sonic approach, : :' ultimately transforming the emotional experience of the ': ,: problems they're exploring. One of the band's greatest hopes for :, : Bambi is that the album might help others in dealing with their : :' own pain. "I've always considered the responsibility of art to ': ,: be representing your specific experience," says Sutton. "We're :, : saying, 'This is what I'm doing now, this what I'm living like.' : :' It's about sharing what you're going through, so maybe someone ': ,: else will feel less lonely." And as Nathan Stocker points out, :, : Bambi may find a particular connection with those feeling shaken : :' up by the chaos of current times. "The only thing I'm sure ': ,: about with this album is how unsure it is," he says. "I want :, : people to feel as confused as we are about everything, because : :' confusion can be an interesting thing. When you don't totally ': ,: understand what's going on, you never stop thinking and :, : questioning and trying to figure things out for yourself. I : :' think a lot of good can come from that."
