MAHUNA’s latest single, “Underneath a Hazel Tree,” is a captivating piece that effortlessly weaves together the natural beauty of Ireland with personal reflection. Inspired by a 2010 family walk through the ancient woodlands near Sligo, the song offers a gentle and emotive experience. As Mahuna describes a tranquil moment under the tree canopy and the ruins of an old house, the listener is transported to this serene environment, where history, memory, and the present merge.
Recorded live in Berlin at Tritonus Studio, the single stays true to Mahuna’s organic and stripped-back approach. His vocals and guitar blend beautifully with the contributions of Miles Perkin on double bass and Hauke Renken’s soft vibraphone tones, creating a dreamy atmosphere. The analog recording technique used adds a layer of warmth and authenticity, further enhancing the song’s nostalgic feel.
What truly shines in “Underneath a Hazel Tree” is Mahuna’s ability to evoke emotion without overwhelming the listener. This track stands as a testament to his artistry and resilience, delivering both emotional depth and musical clarity.
