Hazlett is breaking our hearts and gently piecing them back together again. The indie-folk artist recently released his EP, Oh Downhill, which is side A of his upcoming 1st full-length album. It features the singles “Please Don’t Be,” “Even If It’s Only,” “My Skin,” and “Everybody Hates Me,” and closes with its title track, “Oh Downhill.” Throughout the EP, his lyrics have a soft, warm glow, and burn brightest on the final track, which reads like a poem. He sings, “Feeling hard to care / When the moon’s in Aries now / Living in repair / How could the world just stare us down?”
About “Oh Downhill,” Hazlett says, “I don’t know what is ingrained in human nature that makes us run back to things that are bad for us, people that don’t like us, or compare ourselves to strangers’ lives.” He adds, “When you look back after a moment like this happens, it’s so confusing. But in that moment, it’s all you can care about and all you can focus on. This song is a little homage to this broken little world we are all trying to swim in.”
