Dream-pop duo teepee release ‘Hazel Trees’ post-apocalyptic video

Dream-pop duo teepee has shared their music video for their song ‘Hazel Trees’. The pair consists of singer-acoustic guitarist Miroslav Patočka (Mason) and singer-electric guitarist Tereza Lavičková. They have shared the stage with acclaimed acts like Jesse Ware, Seafret, Oh Wonder, Peter Bjorn, and John or Laurel. To date, teepee has performed at shows in the United Kingdom, Austria, Germany, Slovakia, and Poland.

Teepee has provided an emotionally fitting video, to our current times that we are all facing in our world. The video features Mason and Tereza in spacious landscapes, hinting at a post-apocalyptic theme. They wanted to create a video that represented hope in the face of adversity, and loneliness. The duo are inspired by acts like RY X, Nick Drake, Son Lux, and Sigur Rós for their overall sound. 

Tereza Lavičková shares, “The song is based on one Celtic Myth that says that on the way to the other world there are nine magical hazel trees. The hazelnuts from these trees hold all the world’s wisdom. With the video, I wanted to capture the hopelessness of a person that is completely alone in the world so I wanted to create sort of a post-apocalyptic world. What is the point of existence If there is no one else to share it with? “

“As the main theme of the new album is hope we wanted to make the video hopeful too so the point is that everything becomes more bearable when there is someone you can share the grief and loneliness with. The aim was to capture the idea of the song. ‘Hazel Trees’ is about reconciliation because “Sooner and later our navigators take the rudder and paddle to reach the shore” everyone dies, without death life wouldn’t make any sense but “The winner takes it all” because the heartbreaking moment about death is when someone you love dies before you do.”
