Hemlocke Springs is a 23-year-old artist whose music has been characterised as having “the bravado of MARINA and bright production of Phoenix”. Her single “girlfriend” went viral on the app TikTok in 2022. She is one of many singer-songwriters using self-recorded TikToks to mount promotional campaigns for their music, but her art-pop sensibility makes her one of the app’s more eccentric and enticing talents.
