Haag the Huge is Haag’s Ep Out Now
On their latest EP, the group delivers a raucous blend of alternative rock, blues, and a hefty dose of ‘70s-inspired tones, crafting a collection of tracks that not only honor the past but bring it forward in a way that’s undeniably their own.
From the very first track, Alpha Grade, it’s clear that Haag isn’t interested in being overly polished or pretentious.
The song immediately pulls you back to the glory days of rock, evoking the spirit of Woodstock while keeping things grounded with a modern edge.
The driving rhythm and layered guitar riffs carry an infectious energy that’s both nostalgic and forward-looking, making it easy to imagine this track blasting through the speakers at a summer festival.
Next up, Keep Under Wraps takes the intensity up a notch, with a riff that feels raw and mysterious, like something out of a late-night jam session.
There’s a distinct darkness to the track that sets a brooding tone, as if the rhythm itself is guarding some secret. The pulse of the drums and the unique cadence of the guitars create an atmosphere that pulls you deeper into its world, making you crave more with every passing moment.
Glows in Blue is perhaps the most intense track on the EP. From the start, it’s clear that Haag is unafraid to experiment with texture and tone.
The soaring guitar solo here is a thing of beauty, invoking the spirit of both Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmour in equal measure. The solo seems to lift the listener to a higher plane, a euphoric high that feels like a moment of release, almost like an emotional cleanse amidst the storm of the previous tracks.
It’s a standout moment that proves Haag’s ability to evoke both complexity and simplicity in the same breath.
The mood shifts once again in Permeable Isolation, a track that feels almost dystopian in its atmosphere. The tone here is more introspective, creating an eerie sense of uncertainty.
It’s a journey without a clear destination, making it a standout in terms of the variety of sounds and emotions it brings to the table. This track invites listeners to let go of expectations and just drift, adding a more experimental layer to the EP.
The EP closes with the title track, Haag the Huge, a piece that captures the essence of the entire project. It’s infectious, with a driving groove that recalls the anthemic rock vibes of the ‘80s, albeit with a bit more grit.
The song has a playful, almost cinematic quality, with moments that remind you of film scores from that era, yet it still feels undeniably rock ‘n’ roll. It’s the perfect conclusion to an EP that constantly moves between different moods, sounds, and influences.
