Music: Hurt Me’s “A Little” Turns Dream Pop into Something Dangerous

Seattle’s Hurt Me are an underground dream pop / shoegaze outfit redefining the genre with their dark, cinematic edge. Their sound has been described as “seductive dream pop with a knife behind its back” — lush, hypnotic, and intimate, yet always laced with danger. Within the city’s thriving DIY alternative scene, they’ve quickly built a cult following thanks to their ability to merge beauty with menace, crafting music that feels both sensual and unsettling.

“A Little” is Hurt Me’s debut feature video and their statement piece — a sultry and unsettling meditation on lust, obsession, and the violent pull of desire. Built on swirling, chorus-drenched guitars and strong, sensual vocals, the track seduces the listener before unveiling its darker edge.
