Barely out of high school, St. Paul's Hippo Campus made a splash at SXSW this year. Their indie-pop sound makes comparisons to Vampire Weekend inevitable, but their youthful enthusiasm will keep you coming back for more. Their debut EP, Bashful Creatures, will be out in May but here’s a sample with "Suicide Saturday."
