Spring Skier – Don’t Forget (Spotify)
“-Don't forget- is filled with juicy, dense sound and atmosphere. In this track, everything is very competent and harmoniously built: soulful, hypnotic vocals, dream pOP rhythms and a common positive stylistic feature. ”
“-Don't Forget- наполненная сочным, плотным звуком и атмосферой. В этом треке всё очень грамотно и гармонично построено: ламповый, гипнотический вокал, ритмы Dream Pop и общая позитивная стилистическая особенность. Музыка наполненная светом и добром.”

The second single from the upcoming sophomore album, "The Big Surreal", "Don't Forget" is a masterfully crafted indie track with familiar pop writing sensibilities pushed further into exploration with subtle electronica and synth. The staple instrumentation of keys and guitar underpin the track while their signature dual vocal harmonies lead the progression through a candid reflection on the music industry. It is both a commentary on the pitfalls personally experienced in the industry, while also an acknowledgment of how priorities can change when the pressure is eased from having to always be 'on cycle'. It is honest and beautiful, musically and lyrically.
It is accompanied by a clip of marionettes and other puppetry alluding to the theme of manipulation, ending in a parade of fools, not unlike the occasional feelings experienced while on the musical journey.
Recorded by David Rylands and mastered by Grammy award winner, William Bowden (Something for Kate, Gotye etc.).
