hemlocke springs

Songwriter hemlocke springs' recognizably raspy voice and quirky, unpolished approach to synthesizer pop helped her go viral with her first self-released songs. After her debut single, "gimme all ur luv," crossed the million-streams mark within weeks of its release in 2022, she had an even bigger viral hit with the apprehension anthem "girlfriend" later the same year. A medical student at the time, she quickly followed the success of "girlfriend" with songs including 2023's "stranger danger!" that doubled down on dark new wave/post-punk inspirations. She released her debut EP going...going...GONE! in September of the same year.
