With great glorious excitement we announce Hazel English's debut full-length album, Wake UP!, will be released worldwide on April 24th, 2020. Produced by Justin Raisen (Angel Olsen, Charli XCX) in LA and Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Glass Animals) in Atlanta, it’s a record that English serves as a timely klaxon to give us all a meaningful shake and become more present – “Sometimes I feel like we’re just sleepwalking through our lives,” hoping that Wake UP! helps “make people become more aware and mindful.”

The album is introduced today with a new track, "Off My Mind," watch the 60’s visual-infused video below. Hazel explains, “Off My Mind is about feeling stuck in a situation but too afraid to make a move. It’s about the limbo state between where you are and where you want to be.”

Available for pre-order now from the Polyvinyl Store, Wake UP! replaces the grainy lo-fi production of 2017's double EP Just Give In/Never Going Home for something a whole lot brighter, direct and immediate. English certainly hasn’t lost that melodic ear, and the album explodes in colour with a real uncomplicated pop sensibility. Dizzyingly vivid, Wake UP! is a punchy record that arrows straight for the jugular.

Obsessing over old movies and vintage clothing since the age of fifteen, English purports to take her cues from surrealism, Dadaism and the writings of sci-fi novelist Philip K. Dick. Confronting issues with capitalism, Wake UP! also explores power struggles, looking at how shifting dynamics affect relationships, be it in the music industry or in romantic life. It’s a multi-faceted, multi-layered record, and kissed by English’s own unique poetic verse.
