Toothpaste is the new shoegaze four-piece of the south, and Hazlewood the latest taste of their upcoming debut EP, Soft Touch. It’s like a track out of time; some dreamy, lo-fi melody plucked from the liminal space between genres. Hazlewood is like a beautiful dream, frozen in time; the kind you never want to wake up from.
In this new release, Toothpaste are propping up the UK shoegaze genre, making for a five-minute gem as melodic and chimeric as it is mysterious. In muttered verses and hazy choruses, Hazlewood captures the melancholic, thrilling, ineffable moment between a dark sky and the break of dawn.
