To go into more detail about the EP’s leading track ‘Bad Dream Baby’, band member Jake Luppen discussed “The lyrics are a stream of consciousness, darting between my complex relationship with my father, a Britney Spears documentary, and some older men at Grumpy’s (my favorite bar in Minneapolis) who used to hit on me.”
As for the success of Hippo Campus, they have previously completed the UK and European tour, this really put them on the map and BBC reported them as “one of the best bands in the US”.
