In case you missed the news, jj dropped another free EP last week. The melodic stoner dreampop sensibility chugs along through the five news tracks, though I wonder if the novelty’s wearing off – it’s certainly not as much fun as Kills. The highlight is the title track “High Summer” with its silly stolen rap and gratuitous f-bombing.
