The track’s dreamlike, dust-hung calm is obliterated by distorted chaos and rapid-fire vocals, capturing a grim portrait of emotional repression, alienation, and violent grief—moments when power and identity fracture beyond repair. Recorded by Rob Lawless and Cody Blakely, mixed and co-produced by Blakely at Half Stack Studios, and mastered by Stuart McKillop (Rain City Recorders), ‘Swallow’ follows the searing singles ‘Thirstland’ and ‘The Hag’ and pushes Midnight Peg’s chaotic, experimental energy to new extremes.

Driven by slinking guitars, serrated riffs, and lockstep percussion, ‘The Hag’ is a charged subversion of the mythic crone—a warning of what waits in the dark when you let your guard down. With a vocal performance that bites and breathes, Midnight Peg transforms folkloric nightmare into something darkly erotic, visceral, and confrontational.

“‘The Hag’ is about the figures who stalk our dreams, but also the ones society refuses to confront—sexual, powerful, enraged,” says vocalist and lyricist Raquel “Rocky” Mann. “It’s a myth made into a mirror.”

Midnight Peg recorded ‘The Hag’ on Treaty 6 Territory in amiskwacîwâskahikan / Edmonton, AB. The track was captured by Rob Lawless (Lawless Recordings) and Cody Blakeley (Half Stack Studios), who also co-produced and mixed the song. Mastering was handled by Stuart McKillop at Rain City Recorders (Vancouver, BC).
