Today we’re excited to spotlight the newest release from Hazlett, “mountain of a memory.” With his signature vocal warmth and emotional depth, Hazlett once again proves himself as one of folk’s most poignant voices.
On “mountain of a memory,” Hazlett wrestles with the nature of memory—how even the most powerful recollections can blur and soften over time. It’s a reflective, sobering take on how we hold onto the past, ultimately landing on the truth that acceptance isn’t just necessary—it’s inevitable. The song carries the kind of weight that lingers long after the last note.
Hazlett shared that this track is a cornerstone of his upcoming project, slated for release in September, writing on Instagram: “If this new album was a book, then this song would be the blurb on the back telling you what you’re about to dive into on September 12th.”
We’re also thrilled to see Hazlett opening for none other than Noah Kahan this Friday—a massive moment not only for him but for the entire folk genre.
