If it hadn’t been for some parental matchmaking, the Dove and the Wolf, a k a Paloma Gil and Louise Hayat-Camard, might never have met. Gil grew up in Paris; Hayat-Camard in Martinique. But Gil’s mother introduced them when they were 14 and, Gil says, “We started playing music together.” Now 22, the duo, whose band name is a multilingual play on words — “paloma” is Spanish for “dove” and “loup” (which sounds like Lou, Hayat-Camard’s nickname) is French for “wolf” — just released their first EP, a four-song collection of spare but soaring harmonies. They came to T’s attention via Gaby Basora, the fashion designer for Tucker, who hired Hayat-Camard to babysit her sons while in Paris for business. Cut to a recent day in the Rockaways, a surf spot in Queens where the musicians were making a video for Tucker’s resort collection, set to their song “Springtime.” “It’s one of the first songs we wrote together,” Hayat-Camard says. “It’s about growing up and leaving the place you’ve always lived in.”
