Darcie Haven Drops 'Angel of the Apocalypse' EP + New Single 'Girlfriend'

Hailing from a remote farm in Esperance, WA, and now based in Melbourne, singer-songwriter Darcie Haven shares her most personal and commanding work to date with the release of her EP, Angel of the Apocalypse. Known for her searing honesty, grungy indie-pop production, and darkly playful perspective, Haven's new collection captures the raw emotional chaos of short-lived but high-intensity relationships, the kind that implode with the drama of a doomsday.

The EP's focus track 'Girlfriend' perfectly encapsulates this dynamic. Equal parts biting and vulnerable, it delves into the blurred boundaries of casual love and emotional misfires. Darcie shares:

"Girlfriend is a tongue in cheek narrative about navigating casual relationships. It's about that muddled grey area, where you feel like the more you give someone, the less you get, until you're left with the spiralling thought that maybe you're not the only one this person is seeing."

A self-described antihero of heartbreak, Haven has built a reputation for writing songs that hit like journal entries, brutally honest, dramatically sincere, and destined to be screamed alone in the car. Her songs live in the emotional extremes and speak directly to a generation navigating relationships through the lens of overthinking, spiraling and self-awareness.

Born on a remote Western Australian farm, Darcie Haven channels emotional isolation and personal chaos into music that's been compared to Gracie Abrams, Holly Humberstone and Phoebe Bridgers. Her storytelling is sharp and observational, her vocals urgent and confessional. In just over a year, she's amassed 650K+ YouTube views, 3.3 million TikTok likes, and built a deeply loyal fanbase drawn to her fearless vulnerability.

That audience continues to grow rapidly. Recently, Haven announced her first-ever national headline tour, with 80% of tickets selling within 24 hours. Her Sydney pop-up event, oversold by over 460 people, prompting a last-minute venue change to accommodate the overwhelming turnout, filling Chippendale Green with a feverish energy reminiscent of Lorde's Washington Gardens song premiere.

Her last three singles 'Doomsday', 'Burner Account', and 'Hounds' all received first plays and full adds on triple j, with 'Doomsday' alone receiving over 1,500 responses to the textline. Collectively, her songs have clocked over 700 radio spins, while DSPs have continued to champion her with placements on Spotify's New Music Friday (AU & NZ, India, Denmark), Pop n' Fresh, hits different, Equal AU & NZ, and the cover of Tapestry, as well as Apple Music's New in Pop, Heartbreak Pop, and New Music Daily, Amazon Music's Brand New Music, and TIDAL's New Tracks – Pop and Indie Rising.

The momentum continues with 'Girlfriend' receiving a first play on triple j Drive, followed by an on-air interview on Home & Hosed with Ash McGregor, and a spin on the Hot Hits with Nic and Lauren, a powerful early response to the EP's boldest and most confessional track.

On stage, Darcie has opened for Holy Holy, Vance Joy, DMAs, Alex Lahey, Great Gable, and Birds of Tokyo, and appeared at SummerSalt and WA Day festivals. She also features on Holy Holy's latest album Cellophane with the track 'Heroes'. Media support has followed suit, with glowing praise from Rolling Stone, The Guardian, The West Australian, Happy Mag, Women in Pop, and more.
