This is one of those cases where words (in this article) cannot really make the record justice. An incredibly soothing and cathartic experience, ‘Underneath A Hazel Tree’ kidnaps the listeners from the first guitar note, taking them on an acoustic journey through the beauty of nature and appreciation for the simple things. Irish troubadour Mahuna is the talented artist behind the single.
Partly dreamy and partly nostalgic, ‘Underneath A Hazel Tree’ was originally inspired by a walk through local Irish woodland, in 2010. A stream of melancholic memories flew through Mahuna, blending the longing for the past with the joy of the present. Sonically, the track offers the perfect setting for such meaningful lyricism, thanks to charming strings and an evocative arrangement.
Mahuna’s deep, raw vocal tone helps us to fully immerse into the record’s blissful universe, offering a vivid recollection of a fragment of a moment – now stretching out infinitely. ‘Underneath A Hazel Tree’ features Guy Sternberg producing, Miles Perkin on double bass, Hauke Renken on vibraphone, and Carola McMahon on backing vocals.
