Warm Glow by Hippo Campus

Warm Glow, the 2017 EP from Saint Paul, Minnesota, indie rockers Hippo Campus, came out on September 12, the same year NPR Music named them one of its favorite new artists. It's a short, sunny burst of the band's jangly, bright-eyed guitar pop, which takes its cues from the UK and Australia more than from the Midwest: think Bombay Bicycle Club, Little Comets and Last Dinosaurs, with a nod to King Krule.

"baseball" is the track from it that the countdowns latched onto, all nimble, interlocking guitars and restless energy. This is a band that has played South by Southwest, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and Reading and Leeds, and turned up on Conan.
