About

Hemlocke Springs isn't just making music; she's conjuring a digital fever dream, one viral TikTok snippet at a time. This North Carolina-born artist, known for her self-described "cartoonishly feminine" aesthetic, blends bubblegum pop sweetness with an undercurrent of unsettling, almost Lynchian unease. Think if Björk collaborated with 100 gecs, then decided to soundtrack a hyperreal anime. Springs' sonic landscape draws from hyperpop's glitchy textures, bedroom pop's intimacy, and the theatricality of glam rock, crafting a sound that’s simultaneously comforting and deeply disconcerting. Her rise has been swift, fueled by the infectious catchiness of tracks like "girlfriend" and "stranger danger!," catapulting her from online obscurity to a burgeoning indie darling. Each song is meticulously crafted, showcasing not only her songwriting prowess but also her sharp visual sensibility. The videos, often self-directed, amplify the music's themes of identity, anxiety, and the pressures of modern love in the digital age. While collaborations remain scarce, the sheer force of Hemlocke Springs' singular vision suggests a trajectory aimed at not just making hits, but defining a sound entirely her own. Recent projects, hinted at through cryptic social media posts, suggest a deeper dive into the uncanny valley, promising even more warped sonic landscapes and unsettlingly beautiful visuals.
