Good Dog, Bad Dream is a collection of songs that came together with ease, and without pressure - a wildly different experience than the typical Hippo Campus recording process. Hippo Campus - made up of vocalist/guitarists Jake Luppen and Nathan Stocker, drummer Whistler Allen, bassist Zach Sutton, and trumpeter DeCarlo Jackson - assembled Good Dog, Bad Dream with a genuine sense of freedom and enjoyment. It's also the first music that the band has recorded in their new Minneapolis studio space.
