At just nineteen, h3nce has already become one of the most compelling new voices in the digital underground. Today he unveils a double single led by LAST PLACE, a bruising yet melodic track that captures the ache of realising you’re no longer someone’s first choice, paired with 2MUCH ON MY MIND, a raw and introspective counterpoint that expands the release’s emotional range. Together, the two songs introduce a new chapter ahead of his debut EP, WRITE IT ON YOUR FLAGS, coming in November via odd4.
LAST PLACE stands as a moment of emotional clarity. Distorted guitars grind against warped production, rhythms stutter with urgency, and his voice hovers between confession and confrontation. It’s shoegaze filtered through alt-rap, post-punk meeting digital DIY, a restless fusion some have started calling hyperrock. 2MUCH ON MY MIND deepens that portrait, tracing the tension between vulnerability and release, as if the two tracks are in dialogue with each other.
In little more than a year, h3nce has gone from uploading tracks online to amassing over seven million streams, 215,000 monthly listeners, and a Discord community that lives inside his world as much as his music. Fans trade artwork, jokes, and fragments of their own lives, building the same kind of shared space his songs suggest: chaotic, bruised, but alive. His breakout track, VICTIM TO MY BRAIN, caught fire last year, landing on playlists across Germany and the Netherlands, and his momentum hasn’t slowed since.
The live shows are proving just as vital. A packed debut in Berlin saw the crowd opening the pit from the very first song, and after supporting Internet Girl, he’s gearing up for his first European headline tour this autumn with drummer Noah Anderson. Dates in Paris, London, Warsaw, Prague, and Berlin will be followed by a run with ThxSoMch, extending his reach even further across Europe.
With LAST PLACE and 2MUCH ON MY MIND, h3nce offers more than just another release. The songs feel like dispatches from a restless mind in motion, music that thrives in the space between intimacy and noise, and that space is only just beginning to unfold.
