about

“Haters” is the debut album by hex gf, an indie rock band formed by two exes: Justine and Sam. Despite a messy end to a once impassioned romantic relationship, their enduring friendship evolved into a flourishing musical collaboration. hex gf is a product of having fun, not overthinking it, and making new music that they’re excited to share with the world.

The album cover, depicting a garbage fire, represents their desire to create music that is honest and free-spirited, rather than trying to fit into a specific aesthetic or image. The songs, which project the same ethos, were written with no expectations of how they would be received. Instead, they focus on authenticity and the celebration of the process. The resulting album is simple, unpretentious, and reflective of the band’s desire to embrace joy.

The creation process for the album was characterized by a DIY approach. "Knife," their first song, was self-recorded and self-produced. Sam even went so far as learning the saxophone for a solo on one track. Justine took on the task of making music videos using just her iPhone. They enlisted their friends in the collaborative process, asking them to play on the recordings and contribute to the artwork and photography.

In essence, “Haters” is an album that celebrates the freedom to be oneself, not taking things too seriously, and cherishing the bond of friendship.
