Femtanyl
Canadian electronic music duo
Femtanyl (stylized in all lowercase) are a Canadian-American electronic music duo based in Toronto and Seattle consisting of founding member and lead singer Noelle Stockwood and multi-instrumentalist Juno Callender. Their music is popular in online spaces. They take inspiration from a wide variety of sources including groups like Nine Inch Nails, Throbbing Gristle, the Prodigy, and Drain Gang, as well as modern electronic dance music and pop music.
01Career
Femtanyl began as a solo act in 2023 by Stockwood, who had previously released music under the name LilyNiku. Femtanyl's debut track "P3t" along with other early tracks, "Katamari" and "Girl Hell 1999" gained popularity on YouTube through various fanmade videos. These early works gained her enough popularity to sign a distribution deal with release.global, part of the Artist Partner Group. She released her debut EP, Chaser, in September of the same year. Writing for Pitchfork, Kieran Press-Reynolds described the EP as "a relentless hamster wheel of energy." It amassed over 40 million streams in its first year on streaming services.
Stockwood performed her first show in January 2024, which sold out in two hours. On August 15, Stockwood was introduced to Callender, who had previously toured with hardcore and screamo bands, by her manager to perform as a live drummer. By July 2024, they had sold out multiple shows with over 650 tickets each. Stockwood released her sophomore EP, Reactor, in November. It featured American rapper Danny Brown on the track "M3 N Min3". In August 2025, Callender was officially made a member of Femtanyl. Callender described her work as "electronic music with an emphasis on physicality, aggression and kinetics".
In November 2025, Femtanyl appeared on previous collaborator Danny Brown's album Stardust, featuring on the track "1L0v3myL1f3!". The band, alongside American musician Underscores, were supporting acts for Brown's tour in support of the album. They released their debut album Man Bites Dog on February 13, 2026, in which Stockwood imagines a life where she never transitioned. The album received positive reviews, with Kieran Press-Reynolds of Pitchfork giving it 7.2/10 and Allie Gregory of Exclaim! writing that Man Bites Dog "expands on the pair's already inventive undertakings of breakcore, reorienting themselves within archival internet aesthetics, drawing on vaporwave and witchhouse, the Death Grips œuvre, horrorcore and outright brainrot." In June 2026, Femtanyl performed at the Primavera Sound 26 festival in Barcelona, Spain.
Both Stockwood and Callender are transgender women, however they take issue with Femtanyl being reduced to "trans music" by commentators. The cover art of Femtanyl's music often depicts their cat-like mascot, Token, appearing disfigured or injured.
