If you haven’t heard of Hemlocke Springs the question has got to be asked: where have you been? The 24-year-old North Carolinian is one of the most talked about newcomers breaking into the alt-pop scene right now, but becoming a musician wasn’t always part of her plan. In 2022, Hemlocke Springs took an unexpected detour while studying bioinformatics at Dartmouth and ended up with two back-to-back TikTok viral singles ‘gimme all ur love’ and ‘girlfriend’. Then she backed it up on 2023 track ‘sever the blight’, an era-eschewing pop song that shows the full extent of her experimental ambition. With millions of streams to her name, praise from Grimes, and Bella Hadid, a slot at Pitchfork Music Festival Berlin and a debut EP about Hemlocke Springs has a fiery future ahead. Just wait until her debut EP going...going...GONE! drops later this month.
