Inspired by the reflection that came after Alex the Astronaut cut off all her hair for charity, ‘Haircut’ celebrates personal growth and the journey of self-discovery side by side with your friends. Shining a light on Alex the Astronaut’s unique ability of contrasting small moments with the profound and life-changing, the wildly bubbly and upbeat ‘Haircut’ has been named in The Guardian’s Best New Music for June, added to full rotation on triple j, received airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music, and spotlighted by The AU Review, NME and Music Feeds among many others.
