"South" turns up on Hippo Campus's Tarzan Reject EP, which landed in December 2013, and it catches the four of them already locked in tight. Jake Luppen sings lead and wrote the words, but the music belongs to the whole band: Luppen and Nathan Stocker braid their electric guitars, Zach Sutton holds down the bass and Whistler Allen drives it from behind the kit.
Brad Bivens produced it alongside Alan Sparhawk and mixed it too, while Nick Tveitbakk handled the recording. What comes out is bright, nimble indie rock, the guitars chiming and darting over a restless beat, the sound of a band working out how good it can get in real time.
