MORE Indie Invaders / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

Check out the infectious mid tempo track Everybody Hates Me by indie folk artist Hazlett. The song could fit easily on any Spotify indie playlist.

Hazlett landed features in NME, Clash, The Line of Best Fit, and Atwood. With the rising musician currently working on more brand-new material for his upcoming full-length album debut with Nettwerk, it’s clear Hazlett is weaving his way to something bigger.

Tell me about how your new song came about?
It actually came about because of the pandemic. The isolation really got to me. Because life was so online I found myself reading into any communication I had and making up scenarios in my head. I wrote the line “everybody hates me“ as a jokingly blunt way to explain my feelings and I actually had every intention to change it. But the more I sat with it, I realised just how close to home it hit. It was exactly how I felt.

Have you always been a story teller?
I think so. To some extent it was accidental though. I write a lot to figure things out in my own head and when I take a step back it does look a lot like I had some stories to tell. Subconsciously It’s probably because my favourite songs of all time have been these kind of grandiose timeless stories.

Do you have to be vulnerable and brave to tell your life story?
I think it takes a fair bit of courage yeah. But I wouldn’t consider myself brave or vulnerable. Music is my own outlet to help the tough times. The more I’ve put my songs out the more I’ve received messages of how they’ve resonated with people. I think that has been the safety blanket in putting myself out there more and more. Knowing others are in it with me.
