Listening to I Hate You Just Kidding is like drifting away into a mid-summertime daydream. Their new EP "I’m A Submarine" comes out tomorrow…a perfect way to ease into springtime. The harmonizing vocals of Jessi and Jeremy are sweet and soothing, and the sounds of the tambourine, harmonica, banjo, and acoustic send you into a sort of folk fairytale. "Home" paints a picture of a vintage house with yellow walls and faded polaroids, with the lyrics "Your hands are more like home than some house could ever be". "Some Things Never Change" has a Brian Jonestown Massacre type feel. IHYJK’s full album is due out later this year. Check them out this Thursday at La Cave in Costa Mesa!
