Watch the video for "Back to the Start" here. The EP's titular, opening track perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the project. Announcing itself like a Californian daydream, awash with synths, heavenly vocal harmonies and jangling guitars, the song's accompanying video was directed by Pasqual Amade. The EP's title track captures a certain struggle Appeldoorn has untethering herself from the umpteenth setback. “I’m just being very honest and very real, being like, ‘I went through all this shit for a reason, but now I’m clueless again,’” she explains. “But I think that’s basically what life is: you constantly get over these really hard, big things.” Following a string of European tour dates supporting acts Spacey Jane, Paolo Nutini and Feng Suave alongside widely praised performances at this year's edition of Eurosonic Festival ("a set of swooning dream-pop. Singing over a tapestry of guitar and synth, the songs were encapsulating, swaying in sentiment and washing through the dark room" - The Line Of Best Fit) - Mazey Haze will embark on a brief stint of European tour dates in support of the EP this month, with stops in London, Paris, Amsterdam and more. Released in 2021, Mazey Haze's debut EP 'Always Dancing' heralded an artist whose taste belied her years, looking at pop through an otherworldly, psychedelic prism. Toning down the more ethereal, synthetic textures present on her debut EP, Mazey Haze's new material finds her rooting herself to the earth, together with a little less perfectionism. Organic, acoustic sounds, her love of French New Wave cinema, Italian film scores and 60s psych-rock informs the vein of nostalgia that runs through it, finding its way back to a distant world. New EP 'Back To The Start' is reflective of a desire for simplicity: a collage of self-reflection, where thought, feeling and a powerful sense of place merge to make singular worlds that are entirely her own. For the first time, with the release of upcoming EP 'Back to the Start', Appeldoorn has reclaimed her own narrative, centralising her own experience rather than being a mere footnote in someone else’s. Retracing her steps so far, while driven by the desire to progress, Mazey Haze is always learning, and we’ll be learning with her. Mazey Haze has been warmly welcomed at press (The Independent, The Sunday Times, The Line Of Best Fit, CLASH Magazine, La Blogotheque, Notion, 1883 Magazine, Nothing But Hope & Passion, Rough Trade, Beats Per Minute + more), alongside widespread Dutch radio support (NPO 3FM, NPO Radio 1, KINK and Radio Veronica) and over 1 million streams of the project to date. Mazey Haze has also excelled in the live domain, heading out on UK and European tours in support of acts including Paolo Nutini, Feng Suave and Spacey Jane as well as playing at an official Tame Impala afterparty. Mazey Haze's new EP 'Back to the Start' is out now, released 6th April via LUSTRE. Mazey Haze will tour the EP this month with stops in London, Paris and further dates in Belgium and the Netherlands.
