Hazel English is a 25-year-old Oakland-based artist who makes beautifully blurry indie-pop music powered by transcendent melodies and caked in layers of Californian sunshine and redolent reverb.

We featured tracks from her a couple of times last year and she has now announced her debut 12-inch vinyl EP, Never Going Home, collating a brilliant snap-shot of her DIY creations to date.

Those that have followed her ascendance through the blogosphere so far will recognise the title track, but to commemorate this EP announcement it’s now complete with an accompanying video trailing her mountaintop journey through local idyls.

Watch/listen below.
