“Drunk in Town” is not just the debut single of the Manchester indie-pop group Oh Hippo. It’s intoxication in its most picturesque and ironic form, a melody that will gift you a night you’ll never forget.

Gentle vocal harmonies envelop you, like the dark waters of the sea as you get drawn into this endless night’s reverie. Smooth basslines seem to whisper to you, “Take your time, dear, it’s only the beginning.” And you willingly agree.

But beneath this sweet melody lies a subtle undercurrent of dissonance, like an invisible fire burning in the night. This intoxication sung about by Oh Hippo is not just a merry revelry. It’s a peculiar art of falling in love with your friends. It’s that moment when, slightly tipsy in the city, you start to feel your heart fill with love for the whole world. “Oh damn, I love everyone so much!” you exclaim, and that sincere, infectious sense of happiness engulfs you.

So, when you listen to “Drunk in Town,” don’t forget that this song is an art form that describes the most intricate and beautiful aspects of our relationships. It makes us ponder that sometimes the line between friendship and love is quite fine, and in it, you might experience the same feeling – “Oh, I love everyone so much!” But perhaps, that’s what makes our lives so interesting and unpredictable.
