Honeysuckle Weeks marks the first time that The Submarines - John Dragonetti and Blake Hazard - collaborated as a duo from start to finish (Declare A New State! was written separately during a breakup and recorded upon their reunion.) The new album, which was recorded in the band's East LA garage-turned-home-studio, draws together themes from their immediate surroundings and experience: the garden outside their home studio, and the push and pull of life and love inside.

"Our first album was hugely cathartic for us to make, dealing with a breakup and getting out the sorrow, but we've been ready to freak out and have a lot more fun this time around. We're thankful not to have to make that record again, to be in a better place," says Hazard.
