hemlocke springs announces new EP ‘going…going…GONE!’
She’s teased the project with the release of its lead single, ‘enknee1’.
North Carolina’s hemlocke springs has shared news of her debut EP, entitled ‘going…going…GONE!’, arriving on 29th September. Over seven tracks, the project is the first extended introduction to hemlocke springs (aka Isimeme ‘Naomi’ Udu), and is spearheaded by its phonetic, bouncing lead single ‘enknee1’.
Of the EP, Naomi has said: “the songs serve as records of my thoughts as I transitioned from the teenage/young-adult phase to adulthood. Sure, at times I sound a bit silly, but I think it’s used as a way to cover up impending fears that are only bound to grow as I get older. What better way to deal with that than singing to a beat with self-deprecating lyrics?”
