Emo-Folk Duo hey, nothing Escape The Grip of Toxicity & Trauma on New Single “The Sink”

April 10 2024

“The Sink” is out now, buy/stream it here.

hey, nothing — the Athens-via-Atlanta duo of 19-year-old best friends Tyler Mary and Harlow Phillips, who’ve built a cult online following through their roughly hewn and lyrically deft emo-folk — are sharing their new single “The Sink” today.

Speaking on “The Sink,” they said: “It’s about the decision to let go — to fully break free from the chains of toxicity and trauma…a chance to refresh, let it all go, and move forward.”

Listen to “The Sink” here.

Whether in melodic counterpoint or ragged harmonies, hey, nothing’s vocal interplay is immediately charming. While simply teasing “The Sink” in a short video, it drove over three million views across TikTok, grew their Instagram following by the thousands, and has doubled their Spotify streams week-over-week. Though hey, nothing’s rise has been swift, the teenage duo’s punk-folk sound stands its ground, ringing to a tune akin with Violent Femmes, Modern Baseball, or The Front Bottoms.

hey, nothing are also about to go on to tour supporting BoyWithUke throughout April, just before they headline NYC and Philadelphia in May. See all of the tour dates below and find more info + tickets here.
