It's that time of year when people start to reflect on the last twelve months in music. Take a quick look on twitter and it seems as though everyone is sharing their thoughts on the best songs and albums of the year.
Never one to miss out on a opportunity to share news of cracking indie music, I'm going to spend the next 24 days sharing some of my favourite songs and artists from the last 12 months.
I'm kicking things off with my favourite new artist of the year - Hippo Campus. They're an american band hailing from Minnesota. The foursome are made up of Jake Luppen (vocals/guitar), Nathan Stocker (guitar), Zach Sutton (bass), and Whistler Allen (drums).
When I first heard the Bashful Creatures EP in a summer of great music, they stood out from the crowd. Readers of this blog will have heard the excellent Suicide Saturday from the very same EP. As if that wasn't good enough, they returned in the autumn with the South EP featuring more simple yet powerful indie pop songs.
So, for my first post in this advent of indie music my gift to you all is Hippo Campus - Bashful Creatures. Happy listening!
