HUNNY with Bay Faction & Mundy’s Bay | Club Dada Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. , HUNNY's debut full-length album, opens on “Lula I’m Not
Mad”—a bouncy pop track that matches its shimmery synth lines with
hopelessly crushed-out lyrics. Produced by Grammy Award-winner Carlos
de la Garza (Cherry Glazerr, Culture Abuse, Paramore), Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes. came to life in November 2018 during the Woolsey Fire and
Camp Fire that devastated 96,949 acres of land in Southern California.
At one point, while members Jason Yarger (vocals), Jake Goldstein
(guitar), and Joey Anderson (drums) were inside Kevin Grimmett’s
(bass, keyboards) home demoing and writing, firefighters were in the
backyard stopping the wildfire from encroaching onto the property.
“They blocked off all the streets and we had to sneak into my place
through this apartment structure,” Grimmet recalls. “Thankfully my
house is still standing and the hills are a bright green.” Inspired
by their love for ‘80s new wave and ‘90s pop, Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. is an endless back-and-forth between heavy-hearted lyrics and
bright-and-shiny melodies, lovesick confession, and addictively dancey
rhythms. With the album centered on a narrative Yarger sums up as “I
love you and I want to die,” HUNNY wrote most of the songs on
acoustic guitar, deliberately channeling a raw vulnerability into
every line. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. embodies the wildly frenetic
energy of HUNNY’s live show. As Grimmett explains, the band
introduced that element with their ever-communal live show in mind.
“We really love the emotive aspect of playing a show. For this
record, we really took the time to think about what we were going to
give them to sing, and made sure that it’s something with real
feeling and meaning to it.”
