Little Hag: “Hell Yes”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

An energizing lyrical refrain. Who can’t get behind “Hell Yes” as a lyrical trope? I mean, besides the ardent “Hell No” crowd? New Jersey’s Little Hag isn’t all full of sunshine and rainbows though. There are some dark thoughts swimming to the surface, which forms an arch emotional counterpoint to the upbeat, uptempo electro pop soul at work in our highlighted track. Off Now That's What I Call Little Hag. Via Bar/None Records.
