Hazlett Releases New Song “Shiver”
Sweden-based Australian folk singer-songwriter Hazlett will release his upcoming 6-track EP on October 4, 2024 via Nettwerk.
The new EP completes the project “Goodbye to the Valley Low”, six brand new songs, which together with the first EP, which was released last December, makes one cohesive 12-track album “Goodbye to the Valley Low”.
He recorded the project in an off-grid cabin in the middle of Scandinavian nowhere.
“Truth be told there was never meant to be a Side B to Goodbye to the Valley Low, but the more that I tried moving on from it the more I kept getting pulled back,” Hazlett explained. “I think being out there in the cabin brought out a lot of initial feelings that I worked through and then after that I was left with all these half thoughts and feelings that needed a little more work to figure out. Which might be why it sounds a little bit darker at times. If Side A was the curiosity of the cabin then Side B is working through all the questions that it left behind.”- From the EP, he released a new song “Shiver” on July 12, 2024.
The song is the third single off of the EP, following “Bones Shake” and “The First Train Home”
The track was written by Fredrik Häggstam, and Mitchell Hazlett Lewis. Produced by Freddy Alexander.
Hazlett said of the song, “I've always had this tug-o-war in my head of how much control do I really have of my life? Do I have to be petrified of every decision I make? Or do I just say whatever will be will be and sit back? I think to some extent whatever path we take life has a funny way of taking us to our destination anyway. But that only happens when we're led by our gut, we have good intentions and we're not scared to make the wrong choice. Sometimes it is just about choosing a door to open and being irrationally confident that the universe will guide you to where you need to go either way.” -
