Spring Skier are duo Remy Boccalatte and Kane Mazlin, who manage to create something with a massive orchestral sweep as wide and as immersive as the cloudless Queensland skies. While touched with a bittersweet taste, the second single, ‘Don’t Forget' is euphoric and uplifting, achingly beautiful.

The accompanying video reflects the sense of poignancy: shots of puppetry shows imbued with pathos and nostalgia. It is a strange phenomena that marionettes seems to be palimpsests for our emotions: we imprint on their wooden features our own stories and emotions while they are manipulated at the hands of unseen forces:

This is impossibly beautiful music – baroque and pastoral.

‘Hippocamping’ is the first single from Spring Skier. A project propelled by the energies of Remy Boccalatte and Kane Mazlin, it glazes our negative passions and drives them to the corners where we can’t interact with them any longer.

The beautifully sound-scaped single of ‘Hippocamping’ is a freshly cut bush of flowers and greens. Longing in the sentimentality of a past of your own, you glide with your thoughts and memories, inclined to smile and gleefully embrace the warmth that once was.

The Brisbane dreamfolk duo said of the single: “‘Hippocamping’ is a reference to spending time with memories, illustrated through a fictional dinner encounter with a seahorse, and wondering if another invite will ever come.”

Remy and Kane delight in working and moulding vestiges of emotional invitations. A cart full of bespoke resonance, reveal a parting shot of kisses and hug, for the longing hearts asunder.

A prelude to a dream desire, the duo sanctions negativity in ‘Hippocamping’, just enough for us to just sail away for a little while.

Directed by David Rylands. First single from the sophomore album, due for release in 2021.
