Written through a queer feminist lens, Hyaenas explores a variety of socially relevant topics on Little Trophy including the #MeToo and #TIMESUP movements, the five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance), 20th century coal miners, the fight/flight/freeze stress response, NXIVM (a cult profiled by the HBO docuseries “The Vow”), as well as astronomy and the beloved tales of the Pied Piper and Alice in Wonderland.

Oh, No (Intro)

It’s Not Up to Me (Unplugged) is a raw and exposed reimagining of the initial release from queer Indie Band - Hyaenas.  String pads and ethereal piano shimmers swirl around a powerful but delicate vocal.  The song explores the emotion of anger.  A “good vibes only” doctrine is dangerous because anger can actually be a positive signal to yourself of what your boundaries and values are.  The song alludes to the fight, flight, or freeze stress response and that serving up anger can be warranted (especially when it’s towards a toxic manipulator who is the subject of this track).  The choruses support the cathartic healing that anger brings, and the bridge encourages the release of letting it go.

Just in time for Pride Month, here comes a summer banger from queer Indie Synth Pop band - Hyaenas. This HeavyPetz Remix of the NXIVM inspired track Another Level, throws listeners back to the 80s with a “Take on Me” by A-ha vibe and will have the club “Flashdancing” like a “Maniac”. Modern electro beats, stylized lead vocals, and background vocals reminiscent of the Season 2 White Lotus intro theme pull this track back to the future. A perfect fit for your Pride Party!
