“The 23-year-old artist’s second single is an ideal rom-com song, channelling the bravado of MARINA and bright production of Phoenix.” –  PITCHFORK

“hemlocke springs is making pop quirky again” –  ONES TO WATCH

“the DIY appeal of all the best bedroom pop, but also showcases soaring, whimsical melodies, the panache of an ‘80s hit, and an unusual structure that keeps things interesting even after 100 listens” –  COMPLEX

After the viral success of her most recent explosive single girlfriend, 2022 breakout star hemlocke springs reveals her latest single stranger danger! – kicking off the new year with her most daring and boundary-pushing track yet. stranger danger! chronicles the dangers of capitalism while continuing to build on her success with self production and writing. To mark the release, hemlocke springs will also be revealing the official video clip for stranger danger! , premiering at 4.00am Saturday 14th January globally.

Fitting for its release on Friday the 13th, the haunting, fast-paced new single sheds the glitzy, lighthearted nature of her prior two releases for one that’s anxious, foreboding, and suspenseful. With vocals ranging from wild shrieks in the leading verses to her signature angelic refrains on the chorus, stranger danger! delivers an experience that’s as dynamic as ever. The instrumental slowly evolves from a simple, distorted rhythm to some of the most gorgeous synth layering one could hear on a pop track by the end. It does the absolute most in highlighting what a one-of-a-kind performer she is as she adds another style to her growing repertoire of musical soundscapes.

The 24-year-old artist rose to stardom last year with a pair of viral hits in gimmie all ur luv and girlfriend which both quickly racked millions of TikTok views and saw support from Pitchfork, OnesToWatch and Rolling Stone for her unique breakthrough sound with only two singles to her name. The North Carolina  local was also named in NME’s 100: Essential Emerging Artists for 2023. hemlocke springs second single ‘girlfriend’ has racked up over 16 million streams and seen over 59,900 videos created under the sound, and multiple viral moments on TikTok. Fans have compared hemlocke springs’ unique blend of alt pop and rock to Kate Bush, Mitski, Japanese Breakfast and Soccer Mommy.

With co signs from Grimes, Toro y Moi and Steve Lacy (who called her the most exciting artist of 2023), hemlocke has established herself as a mainstay of the alternative pop space and a champion of Tik Tok, and has been named globally as one of 2023’s most exciting emerging artists to keep a close eye on.
