Following the release of his debut album, out earlier this year, and UK/EU tour with Wild Rivers and Josiah & The Bonnevilles, the Australian-born, Sweden-based artist Hazlett returns with the EP Goodbye to the Valley Low. The Indie-Folk album is “brimming with personal anecdotes.”

Produced by long-time collaborator Freddy Alexander, the EP was made in an off-grid cabin on the west coast of Sweden and sees Hazlett going back to his roots with a more stripped-back and rawer sound.

The EP’s first track, out now, is also its finale, “Stolen Seasons.” It’s accompanied by a video.

As Hazlett shares:

Everything happens for a reason. But in the heat of some moments, it’s hard to not just throw your hands up in the air and shake a fist at the sky.

Indie songwriter Hazlett was born and raised in Australia but has put down roots in Sweden. He says that “an old friend, one big break-up and playing Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’ three times a night” was the cocktail that sent him to the other side of the world.
