The latest single perfectly encapulates the iconic 60s wall of sound era in pop while channeling the likes of Camera Obscura, The Clientele and She & Him that is in abundance throughout Wake Up!.

About the video, Hazel says: "'Five and Dime' is about longing for escape and freedom so I thought it would be fun to create an idyllic beach vacation, constructed from a set with cardboard cut out waves and fake palm trees. The idea behind it is that while I'm fantasising about escaping to a tropical place, it's clear I'm just kind of stuck in this pretend version of it. I wanted to evoke the nostalgia of Hollywood musicals from the '50s and '60s, complete with dance choreography and bright colourful costumes."
