Such a fantastic debut and the first release in 2026 that finally made me sit down and LOCK IN. Truly a non-skip album that gets better with each subsequent listen and I'm just soooo excited to see what Hemlocke Springs is gonna serve in the future cause I truly believe there are still ways that she can improve her sound.
Highlights: the beginning of the end; head, shoulders, knees, and ankles; w-w-w-w-w; sever the blight, be the girl!
