A beat from Parisian producer Häzel which we missed first time round, it dropped about a month ago. Smooth as silk, as per what you'd expect from a Häzel beat. You can download the track via the Bandcamp player above. Make sure you keep an eye out for the re-release of 'The Lost Tapes' coming out real soon too.

After spending the bulk of the past year on the road in support of last November's excellent "Sports" LP on Slumberland Records, Weekend have also been hard at work on their followup record. Prior to their European tour in July, the band spent three weeks in the studio with producer Monte Vallier crafting their new EP, simply titled "Red." Opener "Sweet Sixteen" leads directly into the noise-pop gem that is "Hazel" - 3:50 of cascading bass chords, guitar clangor and a melody and chorus most pop bands would kill for. "Red" is an excellent [...]
Género: indie rock, noise, shoegaze. Shaun Durkan (vocals, bass, guitar), Kevin Johnson (guitar), Abe Pedroza (drums) son los Weekend de San Francisco, matizo ya que bandas bautizadas con este nombre hay unas cuantas. Hace un suspiro, el 20 de septiembre, que el trío afiló sus cuerdas y las sintetizó en el EP Red con cinco cortes, de los que asoma la cabeza Hazel , segundo track, soberbía propuesta noise, con guitarras que disparan rayos láser y melodías que se clavan en nuestros melones. [...]
So, this is what happens when two dynamite producers collide. Shit explodes. THIS is a six track collision of styles, some smooth, gorgeously ambient hip-hop with bass hits that'll fill the void. The French/Canadian duo met in Paris after Slakah the Beatchild signed with BBE. From there, they poured gasoline on these tracks, lit the fuse and created beats that trickle, employing spastic samples and with drums that blow up. I can't stress enough how absolutely amazing this collaboration is. I really can't. You have to listen to THIS . [ via ] Hit the [...]
"Shoegaze" is a genre that's bandied about a lot at the moment; it's managed to become synonymous with any guitar-driven track that seems to not quite simply fit the term of 'indie'. This evidence suggests Weekend have set out to prove that actually there's a lot more to it than that. Taken from their latest EP, Red , new track Hazel is a shimmering example of this distinctly 90s sound, all soaring, atmospheric guitars and addictive melodies. With it's infectious melodies and late-emerging well-crafted hook of 'Hazel', it makes for a fine example of why [...]
I Start To Cry New jam from CA bros of shoegaze/"post punk" band Weekend: Weekend - Hazel by Slumberland Records
Fino a quando non li ho visti in concerto devo ammettere che non avevo capito molto il senso dell'uscita dei Weekend per Slumberland. Il debutto Sports mi sembrava ammassare rumore su rumore quasi senza direzione. Quanto mi sbagliavo. Dal vivo il trio di San Francisco appuntiva il proprio post-punk in maniera formidabile e la prima parola che ti veniva in mente era "Manchester". Una compattezza sonica potente, con qualche improvviso contorcimento psichedelico. Davvero notevole. Ora, dopo essere stati in tour diversi mesi di qua e di là dall'oceano, accompagnando tra gli [...]
Weekend - Hazel by Slumberland Records Having patiently waited to hear that first taste of the young Bay Area shoegaze/post-rock band Weekend after their debut LP, Sports , we are given "Hazel." It's the first single off the forthcoming Red EP, out on Slumberland September 20 (but Insound is already offering pre-orders). The jubilant, New Wave-y grand opening of "Hazel" comes as a bit of a surprise, but soon enough the splashes of noisy feedback kick in, and you're [...]
Tweetvaso link San Francisco's Weekend is not to be confused with the other numerous artists/bands whose monikers memorialize the two days that everyone is working for. Making things even more confusing for the band is the fact that their debut album, which was released last September, was named Sports, which is the name of every...
With its debut full-length about a year in the past, California's Weekend is gearing up to release a sophomore album this September via Slumberland records. If you can recall my review of Weekend's debut, Sports , the production was pretty hazy and the guitars were really aggressive. The album was somewhat of a refreshing jolt of noise rock for 2010. On the first track to drop from this new Weekend album, Red , things seem to have been toned down a bit in favor of a little more readability. The [...]
"Hazel" is the first single from Weekend's forthcoming 'Red' EP, which is set to be released on September 9th via Slumberland. Take A Listen: Hazel from Weekend
Endlich wieder richtige Bassakkorde, Gitarrengetöse, Melodien und ein Refrain, für den hunderte anderer Bands töten würden. Und endlich eine Band, die sich nicht - wie es in letzter Zeit üblich zu sein scheint - "Weeknd" sondern eben Weekend nennt, mit "e". Direktlink
Weekend (Photos: Marina Forte) I have a new favorite song, on my birthday no less. It's "Hazel" by Weekend. It is the first track released from the band's forthcoming EP, Red .

Out to reclaim their band name from those with less conventional spellings , San Francisco noise/pop group Weekend are back with colorful new material via an EP titled Red and its lead single "Hazel." This new track was set to tape around the same time as their winning Sports LP, which was a big hit on the serial killer circuit .
