Australian indie folk artist Hazlett has shared his intimate new single “i don’t want your garden.” His masterful songwriting and hypnotic musicality are on point, exploring the conflicting emotions of loss as the track builds to a surging crescendo. It’s a satisfying final glimpse into his upcmoing album ast night you said you missed me, out September 12 via Nettwerk. It’s his most vulnerable and cinematic work to date – one crafted for the quiet moments, the aching goodbyes, and the hopeful new beginnings.
Hazlett says, “I think it’s true that you don’t know how much you miss something until it goes away. But sometimes routine or habit can slowly unravel everything that once had your blood pumping and eyes wide. In that moment though the only thing that can come sweeping through to put you back on your feet is a notion I’ve tried to live with. What is meant for you will always find a way and what isn’t will always pass you by.“
Known for his soul-stirring lyricism and lush folk atmospheres, the new album from the Sweden-based, Australian indie folk singer is told through a collection of sonic postcards; there are stripped-back ballads and comforting acoustic textures, and themes of self-preservation, distance, yearning, and quiet hope. Each track unfolds like a handwritten letter – raw, honest, and brimming with feeling. Whether you’re walking through city streets alone or sitting by candlelight, this record is a confession and a cathartic hug; a reminder that home isn’t always a place. Sometimes, it’s a song that stays a while.
Hazlett’s 2023 debut Bloom Mountain and 2024’s Goodbye to the Valley Low turned heads across the indie music landscape, establishing him as a masterful storyteller and emotional architect. With over 450M global streams, 2.5M+ monthly Spotify listeners, and 117K+ TikTok fans, his music continues to resonate on a global scale.
