Indie Obsessive

  

     Hazlett is on tour in support of his album “last night you said you missed me.” Among the tour stops is a visit to The Fillmore in San Francisco on October 22, 2025. The entire schedule and the ticket information are available at https://www.thisishazlett.com/tour.
 
     Currently, we are most enamored with the tracks “blue jean” and “mountain of a memory.” Comparing the two displays the diverse skills of Hazlett. “blue jean” is more aligned with his “sound,” a warmth in his vocals and a gentleness in the guitar. Still, the song has a segment with a bounce. In comparison, “mountain of a memory” takes a Lord Huron path and has a second half that is well-suited for a sound system with a subwoofer sufficiently powerful to vibrate the listener’s chest.

          Hazlett has connections to a number of continents. He is a native of Brisbane, Australia. His career flourished with the move to Stockholm, Sweden, and the decision to sign with Nettwerk Music Group. Nettwerk was founded in Canada and has become one of the most influential independent record labels. Content on the Nettwerk website includes Hazlett’s description of the “last night you said you missed me” album:
  “It’s a little different, which I know is cliche to say, but it’s true. I think it would be easier to say after all these years that I’ve found my sound and that’s where I’ll stay. But I think there’s a lack of authenticity in staying the same. When I started this whole thing, I wanted anyone who starts to listen to feel like they’re part of this whole thing with me. Growing, trying and finding pieces of ourselves along the way.”

Lyrics of “blue jean” by Hazlett
Broken finger
Hurt me and let it linger
Hunny, holding on
 
Moons and feelings
Surefire to kill the evening
Maybe I'm not who you really want it from
Hunny, holding on
 
I could never find home running away
You were on the outside trying to change
Bruise my bones
We'll be gone
We could never find home running away
 
Half-assed ”Sorry's”
Fill a journal full of worry
Soul tired, back to bed
 
Blue jean please stay
Stopped loving me on Tuesday
Bad things and the dark thoughts you never said
Soul tired, back to bed
 
I could never find home running away
You were on the outside trying to change
Bruise my bones
We'll be gone
We could never find home running away
 
Go, but don't leave me
Take problems over easy
Hard times feel like home
Hug the lightning
Then tell me I was lying
A glass house and all our stones
 

Lyrics of “mountain of a memory” by Hazlett
Call it off, be alone
I'm the ghost that never made it home
Slow night, settle down
I'm the feeling you won't think about someday
Someday
 
Call it off, be alone
I'm the ghost that never made it home
Slow night, settle down
I'm the feeling you won't think about someday
Someday
 
Tie your shoes on my chest
Moving on 'cause we did our best
We don't talk, wait and see
I'm a mountain of a memory
