about

Hey Rel is the songwriting project of Providence RI-based artist Ariel Hirschhorn. Their lyrics are playful, thoughtful, and biting — you might hear the grit of Liz Phair but there's a down-to-Earth warmth that recalls indie pop icons like Sidney Gish and Lomelda.

They released their debut EP, Big Try, on March 7. Big Try was produced with Chaimes Parker (Horse Jumper of Love, Nova One) at Big Nice Studio. Their lyrics are terse but effective, often funny, often heartbreaking, always engaging. Contact them at rel@heyrel.com.
