French-Korean-American artist spill tab shares today new single “Splinter”, alongside its visualizer. The track comes fresh off the back of her recent headline shows in London and Paris, and appearance at The Great Escape 2022. “Splinter” follows her first single of 2022 “Sunburn”, which received love from the likes of The FADER and more. Together, the tracks hint at another body of work expected from spill tab this year as she continues to stake her claim as one of alt-pop’s most innovative and fearless new names.
Tension bristles on “Splinter” via spill tab’s paired-back vocals, lush harmonies and alt-pop production, before the chorus breaks to reveal the track’s indie-rock leaning core. On the single, she comments; “I wanted to make something with a bit of an early 2000s rom-com end credits vibe going on, so I made “Splinter” with my friends Wyatt and Austin, who absolutely smashed it. It’s a bit depressing lyrically but I love having those visuals layered over the crunchy drums and guitars.”
2021 was a breakout year for spill tab, culminating in the December release of her EP Bonnie. Setting the pace with her effusive, untethered lead single “PISTOLWHIP”, she released a string of forward-thinking tracks complete with a line up of well-cast collaborators. Chicago rapper Tommy Genesis unleashes on the glitchy “Indecisive”, JAWNY chants playfully across “Grade A”, and “Velcro” unveils a duet moment between spill tab and Gus Dapperton. Her talents quickly caught the ears of Metronomy, who invited her to appear on their surprise Posse EP, featuring and co-producing on the track “Uneasy”. She spent a good portion of the year on the road too – joining both Gus Dapperton and JAWNY for their respective North American tours.
