So over delighted to see a black artist do her own thing and dominate her own lane with such original ideas and songwriting. Nobody I can think of earns my respect, whether or not the songs fit my taste, it’s so exciting so see this brand of music making strike a chord with people - literally! 😄

Something about hemlocke springs' aesthetic just reminds me of me and my geeky friends running around with our camecorders and taking weird Polaroids in the 00s. It embraces being weird and having "low production values" but compensated with awesome creative vision. Her bops are always catchy too. Huge fan and excited to see where her career goes.

Yea! Hemlocke Springs gives me early 2000s indie sleaze vibes. Before music videos were only about showing off riches, and actually had character to them! There were so many “low production” music vids in the early 2000s that are iconic because they showed off the artists’ creative talent instead of flaunting money.

There's the good comment I was looking for

the chorus.. the visuals.. this scratches an itch i didn't even know i had. the absurdly peaceful discomfort of the video. the exuberant fantasy. it's everything i love. swordfight. wine. war. abstract allegory. aaarrhdhdh

After only 5 months Hemlocke Springs has solidified herself into my top 5 favourite artists, she is so damn fun and talented!!! Another banger for the playlists

This is so wonderfully refreshing omg. It's fun, it's pop, it's artistic, it's layered, it's retro. She is absolutely one to watch. Such talent right out the gate omg

Hemlock has gone 3/3. Her melodies, storytelling and visuals are so great. Truly a breath of fresh air rn. Truly magical.

This song, the way it builds, the beautiful artwork, the sapphic undertones... God, I am so fucking enthralled. Every single time I rewatch this video I find more to love about it and more about the song that draws me in for another listen. I genuinely can't explain how beautiful this whole project is.

I’m certain you’re inspiring other young people to do what they want in spite of other people’s opinions. I don’t think this music even has a genre yet. lol it reminds me of 80s pop. It’s so good.

Hemlocke is taking me on an epic quest. First she summons Kate Bush then twists it into a 80s synth pop renaissance piece. Brilliant, love her. Every song is a nod to the past but truly original at the same time. Love

I'm honestly in love with this song for capturing the fantasy/medieval feel. I heard it first without seeing the video and thought the melody in the chorus sounded a little medieval, and turns out the video is that way too! This is on repeat right now and I can't get enough. Well done!

Hemlocke, this is the best new music I've heard in years. And I'm over 50 year old, a musician myself, and listening to many genres from electronica through progressive rock/metal all the way to modern jazz. You have some amazing talent, heart, and you're beating all current money-driven artists by far. Just keep doing what you're doing, please!

@@etoileshine1011 through work I happen to know a lot of black artists who make a similar style of music to Hemlocke, some quite notable and they hate the constant comparisons and laser-focus of their race within a certain genre in comparison to their artistry. There's also a reason why you constantly read or hear about black artists in the metal genre (and beyond) who are very vocal about their distate of these comparisons. I'm not sure why you'd assume Hemlocke is any different? That's ignoring the fact that it's just a generally distasteful thing to do.

Amazing song and a fantastic video giving that playful Little Dark Age, Invisible Light, and Green Knight use of 70s style camera and gothic medieval debauchery

Her songs always get me in such a good mood... they don't sound like music that is strictly trying to be "good music", she just wants to sing and say something, and she does that. They sound like passion projects. They have soul and personality. I love them.

her voice is so angelic in this song, I am so obssessed!! And i love that the music video give MGMT Little Dark Age vibes

I've literally been so obsessed with this song ever since it came out, its so good 😭 definately my favorite by her

The Black Kate Bush. A natural inheritor of the mantle. Story telling and adventurous delivery. Wonderful.

How to hell is this not more popular??? This is crisp originality that I've been in need of

Bluebells and dahlias are poisonous, particularly bluebells to humans in large quantities. The antagonist poisoned the family using the same ingredient. The protagonist recalls the scent from a past memory, and knows what's about to happen. Im not clear if the red-headed protagonist that Hemlocke portrays is intended to be the same man mentioned earlier in the song, or if it's a sapphic line just recalling a nostalgic memory, and the idea of him finding a replacement is just a way to lean into the portrayal of the protagonist and the heroine in the dungeon as love interests, but an old memory reminds them of the poisonous scent. Hemlocke playing both characters could also just be a form of duality someone experiences when they're betrayed. The revenger and the revenged, the hero and the victim. The betrayal occurs from the same person, the current wife. Anyway, love the song!! Love the throwback of the music video as well, very A-ha!!!

*THIS 80s SYNTH TOTAL GOODNESS NEEDS TO STOP ITS TOO AWESOME*

i'm so happy to see an artist so creative and fun despite everything seeming so depressing. The world needs more hemlocke springs!! I feel inspired!

I remember seeing her before she grew so much. It’s so rewarding to be able to watch an artist grow and make so much out of their art from beginning. It’s beautiful what she’s been able to accomplish.
