I Hate You Just Kidding: BeatCrave Fav
By Lindsey Darden
Young and talented folk duo I Hate You Just Kidding has a hold of the genre in a slightly different way than others, at least as we have heard lately. While you’ve got tracks mainly comprised of their voices and a singular guitar, seemingly simple lyrics and compositions come off more deep haunting than one would ordinarily think. There will be comparisons to Kimya Dawson, sure, but not in the way of “looksee, it’s being done again”, but much more so in the way of “how the… what? Wow“.
They know how to use their lyrics as punctuation marks within song placement in a way that has you wondering if they’ve really only just put out their first EP this year. But considering they’ve received most genuine recognition – including three OC Music Awards nominations – there’s no wondering about their standing in our BeatCrave Fav series. Do yourself a favor and check them out below.
