Hazel is an album by the experimental rock band Red Krayola, released in 1996 by Drag City.[8][9]

Critical reception[edit]

The Austin Chronicle wrote that "although a lot of Hazel is presented in a cut-and-paste carnival of strange narratives, short bursts of guitar/synthesizer, and bold U-turns galore, songs like 'I'm So Blasé' and 'Larking' capture the same infinite pop energy Chris Bell once reigned in."[4] Magnet wrote that it possessed "a leaner, more subtle weirdness than previous records."[10]
