Amid fears of a robotic uprising, this album resonates with raw human emo- tion�sweat, blood, and tears�this is A Place To Bury Strangers.

Hippo Campus' singer Jake Luppen had been listening to the band's work as they rolled around the country, trying to tease out how much work remained. All of it, he soon decided. Obfuscated by the need to sound sophisticated and the overwhelming ambition to make the best Hippo Campus LP ever, a deeper and more profound record that reflected how their lives were changing. But Luppen and all of Hippo Campus decided they didn't actually like what they were making.So they called an audible. They were going to start over. And three months later, the four-member core of Hippo Campus rendezvoused with longtime collaborator Caleb Wright and producer Brad Cook at Sonic Ranch, a playground-like studio complex on the Texas border. They gave themselves 10 days to cut the tracks they liked best, to make something to which they could commit at last. Less than two weeks later, they emerged with what they'd given themselves half a decade to make-Flood, or the best album Hippo Campus has ever made. The sentiments on Flood are raw, real, and unguarded, a testament to Hippo Campus dropping preconceptions of how they had to sound after so many failed attempts to re-record these songs. They wiped the slate clean, starting over without beliefs about what Hippo Campus or this record needed to be. Still, sophistication lurks in subtle key and tempo changes, in the almost innate shifts that a band of longtime best friends can tap after so much time spent helping to shape one another's musical language. Flood doesn't need to tell you it's important or interesting; it simply is, just by virtue of how it's written, built, and rendered, a map of what it's like to feel everything at once. This rebirth is accompanied by a crucial career shift for Hippo Campus, too, as they exit the traditional label system to issue LP4 via Psychic Hotline, a truly independent imprint run by peers and pals. If you're working to let go of expectations, why not jettison them all? There's a bravery to that, and you can hear it's revivifying spirit in every second of LP4.Early into the endlessly propulsive "Paranoid," where stunted acoustic strums undergird an inescapable jangle, Luppen asks an existential question: "Is there something waiting out there for us at the finish line?" For the next three minutes, the band cycles with him through his woes, from the title's overwhelming worry to notions of dislocation and loneliness. (Also, is there any other refrain ever that manages to make the phrase "so god-damned fucking" sound so catchy and natural?) But in the final verse, with his voice breaking through a scrim of distortion, he stumbles upon a new credo: "Wait, I wanna give this life all that I have in me." That is precisely what Hippo Campus have done with Flood after realizing it doesn't take a lifetime-or, well, five years-to do just that.

ThinkIndie Exclusive - Guitar master Dennis Coffey�s first LP for Westbound records was released in 1975. It remains a tour de force in funky guitar mastery unlike anything else. While Coffey�s guitar fireworks remain squarely at the center of Finger Lickin Good, some of the more psychedelic elements of his earlier work fall away and are replaced by a slicker, more produced sound. This new style clearly lays the groundwork for Coffey�s transition, as the 70s progress, into a more commercial, disco-oriented sound on his own recordings as well as on his writing and production work for other artists such as CJ and Co. This long overdue reissue, retitled Finger Pickin Good, was remastered by Dave Gardner and includes a previously unissued bonus track.

In 2016,�Foals singer Yannis Philippakis�was offered the opportunity of a lifetime: a two-day session with the great drummer�Tony Allen. The pair quickly established an intuitive telepathy, and the music, germinated from jams and loops, and was complemented by a unique atmosphere of two cultures and creatives colliding. Joined by Tony�s regular collaborators Vincent Taeger (percussion, marimba), Vincent Taurelle (keys) and Ludovic Bruni (bass, guitar) that first meeting resulted in a handful of near complete songs, which were further developed during a couple subsequent sessions. But between scheduling issues and Covid restrictions, the recordings were not completed before Tony passed away in April 2020. Yannis felt a deep duty to complete the project, not only as a bittersweet way to honor and celebrate his old friend, but also because Tony had been so eager to share these songs with the world. The result is this five-track EP,�Lagos Paris London, under the Yannis & The Yaw umbrella.

For seasoned Australian alternative stalwarts Atlas Genius, their third album � and first in nine
years � End of the Tunnel on the Orchard comes after a trying time that included leaving Warner
Records and then their adopted base of Los Angeles for home just before the pandemic shut
down the world. Whether that�s a light or an oncoming train in their path, the band�s lead
vocalist/guitarist/writer and founding member Keith Jeffery is looking ahead, not over his
shoulder, on 11 songs which reflect that turmoil and growth, both personal and universal, over
the past several years.
�We�re happy enough just to get this album out, above everything else,� admits Keith, with the
band in �musical purgatory� due to another aborted label deal. �We have no expectations this
time.�
The previously released �Elegant Strangers� is a melodic ode to the drug-fueled L.A. faux
schmooze culture, �dressed for the morning sun/Mirrors and razors,� already charting at
SiriusXM�s Alt Nation. The opening disco-inflected track, �Falling So Hard,� offers a longing
song for a lover �oceans apart.� It�s a theme explored as well on �Nobody Loves Like You,� with
Keith�s falsetto and funky guitar solo underlining a tale of missing someone �half the world
away,� a dance-rock track that combines the club floor and the furthest reaches of the arena. The
epic orchestral intro to the geo-political tract �Don�t Let Love be a Stranger,� �Can�t Be Alone
Tonight� and �On a Wave,� inspired by Keith�s passion for surfing, sport an anthemic melodic
drive with whisper-to-a-scream dynamics.
�It�s not really about the water, though I used to love to surf,� says Keith about �On a Wave,�
�It�s like riding that emotional roller coaster, trying to maintain your balance despite all of life�s
ups and downs.�
�Romans� examines a dysfunctional relationship Jeffery experienced while in L.A. �We were
seemingly under control, like Romans, but we were really just bullshitting and using one
another,� explains Keith, a Pisces and admitted �hopeless� romantic. �Animals� and �Do Me
This Way� offer thumping, funky odes to unbridled, passionate lust.
��Animals� is just about the chemistry between people,� observed Keith. �The coy games that
couples play, the dance of courtship which results in marriage and kids or is simply a one-night
stand. �Do Me This Way� is about indulging in all the wrong shit in L.A., when you should be
focusing on what you need to be doing.�
�All for nothing, all for show/If all else fails, at least we rode,� �On a Wave�
Atlas Genius started out in Victor Harbor, a tiny town an hour south of Adelaide on the coast of
southern Australia in 2011 with Keith and his brothers Michael on drums and Steve on bass and
keys along with keyboardist Darren Sell, working out of a home studio they built with funds
from playing at local bars. Signed worldwide to Warner Records, Atlas Genius released a three-

song EP and two full-length albums. The debut, When It Was Now, dropped in 2013, producing
the SiriusXM Alt Nation hit, �Trojans,� the album peaking at #3 on the Billboard Alternative
chart (where it remained for over 52 straight weeks), and #34 on the Billboard 200, with a
second single, �If So,� hitting #8 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. Inanimate Objects
came out two years later, with the first single, �Molecules,� going Top 10 on Billboard�s
Alternative Airplay chart, where it spent 22 weeks before the band was unceremoniously
dropped.
�We have to remind people that we�re still here,� acknowledges Keith. �I feel very positive about
things now. You have to go through a really shit period to appreciate what you�ve got. We�re
ready to put the past behind us, to emerge from the �End of the Tunnel� into the sunlight. We�re
excited to start playing these new songs for people. It�s about time.
�This is by far our strongest album from front to back, mainly because we had the time to get it
right. These 11 songs are the best from the more than hundred I�ve written over that time. I�m
just very happy with how it turned out.�
