Blooming from Sacramento, California, Hazeview is a five-piece collective crafting a lush and cinematic approach to the modern shoegaze sound. With their latest single, “Let Go,” the band expands the emotional and sonic boundaries of the genre, delivering a track that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
Listening to “Let Go” is like stepping into an open field just after a long day of rain — the air is cool, the ground soft, and the last light of sunset filters through heavy clouds. That mood perfectly captures the band’s soundscape: brooding yet hopeful, hazy yet immersive.
The song builds around layers of distorted guitars and deep, resonant bass from Killian Shows, Darren Cade, and Mark Sarris, intertwining to create a rich wall of sound that swells and fades like passing weather. Andrew Vought’s drumming anchors the track with minimalist precision, balancing restraint and intensity to achieve a raw, thunderous rhythm that cuts through the haze. At the core is Jon Sarris’ voice — distant yet intimate — carrying an emotional weight that feels deeply human. His vocals drift through the mix like a memory you can’t quite shake, guiding the listener into a meditative, dreamlike state.
“Let Go” isn’t just a song; it’s an atmosphere — a moment suspended in sound. And if this release is any indication, Hazeview is only getting started in shaping the next wave of alternative shoegaze.
