Hazlett Releases New Song “Do You Haunt Me”
Sweden-based Australian folk singer-songwriter Hazlett released the fourth single called “Do You Haunt Me” from his upcoming 6-track EP “Goodbye to the Valley Low” on August 23, 2024.
The new EP is set to be released on October 4, 2024 via Nettwerk.
The track was written by Fredrik Häggstam and Mitchell Hazlett Lewis. Produced by Freddy Alexander.
Hazlett said of the song, “Someone once told me healing isn’t linear. Like all good advice though it’s a tough thing to remember when you’re going through it. There’ll be dead ends, there’ll be mistakes and there will be plenty of advice from the sidelines along the way. But this was just a little ode to still attempt to remind myself for every step that feels backwards, in the grand scheme of things it’s actually a profound lunge forward to where we need to be. Even when it doesn’t feel like it.”- He shared on social media, “That’s the thing though isn’t it. Through all the chaos, confusion and curve balls life throws your way the world just keeps spinning. Sometimes feeling faster then ever while you’re left holding on before you can even start catching up. But maybe it’s not about catching up. Maybe it’s not about gripping on so tightly. Maybe it’s about letting go, seeing where the world spits you out and dusting yourself off from there. There might not be answers but there’s always little lights along the way. I don’t know. I’m just like you trying to figure it all out. So maybe that’s why I’m here, just to write the songs of what we’re all feeling.”

The EP is the second part of “Goodbye to the Valley Low” project. The previous EP was released as the first part last October.
Two EP were recorded in an off-grid cabin in the middle of Scandinavian nowhere.
The new 6-track EP completes this project, six brand new songs, which together with the first EP, makes one cohesive album “Goodbye to the Valley Low”.
Hazlett said, “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. 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.” - source : Apple Music
