Heartworms EP Review: A Comforting Notion

(Speedy Wunderground)

BY JORDAN MAINZER

A Comforting Notion, the debut EP from Jojo Orme’s dark dance project Heartworms, is the platonic artist’s statement. That is, the four tracks that make up the South London artist’s release are uniform in their aesthetic, cohesive in their themes, and provocative in their visualized form. Released on Speedy Wunderground (and produced by label founder Dan Carey), the record is classic goth-punk: wiry guitars, metronomic drum loops, vocals that elevate from whispered sprechgesang to shouted chants. “Ugly is the man, he’ll chew his eyes,” Orme sings, sinister and foreboding. On word workout “Retributions of an Awful Life”, she bounces back and forth over harmonic bass wobbles, glassy synths, and propulsive percussion, reciting lines like, “Very stressed, unimpressed / This is fun / In fact, it’s keeping me awake,” like she’s going down a checklist, yet fully knowing that moods are anything but simple, often multitudinous.

Best, Orme is aware of the genre’s history and what came before her. Her interest in military and aviation imagery is legit, having started volunteering at The Royal Air Force Museum, and she appropriates it without succumbing to the genre’s dabbling in fascism. In essence, she ironically finds a sense of individuality in donning uniforms while performing, something distinct from the all-black palate of her forebears. Taken in context of a song like “24 Hours”, a dissociative track about Orme not fitting in at school, Heartworms’ at-times monochromatic vocalization and percussion is a powerful push-pull between conformity and individuality. Orme named the band after the 2017 album from The Shins, whose sunny melancholy is as far a cry as possible from Heartworms’ grey soundscapes. Funny enough, James Mercer’s father was in the U.S. Air Force, and while that has never really made it into the New Mexico band’s music, the factoid is the cherry on top of Heartworms’ mood board, unexpectedly deep and wide.

Jojo Orme is a South London-based singer/songwriter, producer and mastermind behind the rapidly rising, goth-inspired post-punk outfit Heartworms. Uniformity plays a huge role with Orme and Heartworms: the metronomic music and meticulous fashion of acts like Interpol and Kraftwerk have been a major influence on the South London-based artist. But she also cites PJ Harvey, whose dark sense of humor…

[Album] Heartworms veröffentlicht am 7. Februar ihr Debütalbum "Glutton For Punishment"!

Man könnte den Ausdruck "Glutton For Punishment" als Schlagwort für die Menschheit im Allgemeinen beschreiben: Wenn man die letzten paar hundert Jahre Geschichte betrachtet, sieht man Gesellschaften, die anscheinend nach sozialem Unfrieden dürsten, mit Menschen, die sich nach der Aussicht auf zwischenmenschliches Chaos verzehren. Auch auf persönlicher Ebene scheinen wir immer das Schlimmste für uns selbst zu wählen: ungesunde Beziehungen, geißelnde Jobs oder schlechte Freundschaften. Als es für Jojo Orme alias Heartworms an der Zeit war, ihrem Debütalbum einen Namen zu geben, gab es nur wenige Phrasen, die die unangenehmen Gefühle im Herzen ihrer Songs so gut einfangen konnten. In den neun Tracks singt die 26-jährige Musikerin mit erfrischender Offenheit über Wut, Schmerz und Unsicherheit, über zerrüttete Familien, zerbrochene Beziehungen und menschliches Leid, die sie seit ihrer Jugend fesseln und schockieren - jeder Song ist dabei von dem Gefühl durchdrungen, dass sie das Chaos vielleicht sogar ein kleines bisschen genießt.

“We’re all so drawn to punishing ourselves, and I’m always drawn to singing about it, and thinking about it”, erzählt sie. Die Herangehensweise an das Songwriting und den Aufbau der Songs führt zu einem Album, das die moderne Unzufriedenheit in einer zeitlosen Perspektive einfängt, mit dem Wissen, dass diese Gefühle nicht einfach wegzudiskutieren sind.

Produziert von Dan Carey (u.a. Fontaines D.C., Wet Leg, Kae Tempest) und veröffentlicht auf seinem Label Speedy Wunderground, knüpft "Glutton For Punishment" an die Debüt-EP "A Comforting Notion" aus 2023 an. Ließ sich diese noch eindeutiger in die Post-Punk-Schublade stecken, brechen die neuen Songs eher daraus aus und zeigen sich auch von einer poppigeren und eingängigeren Seite. Die beiden verbinden zusammen die treibenden, motorischen Klänge der Gothic-Größen Depeche Mode mit der lyrischen Gewandtheit von PJ Harvey und den Rhythmen von LCD Soundsystem zu einem kraftvollen Klanggewitter, das trotzdem noch ganz und gar Heartworms ist.

Nach "Jacked" im Juni erschien zuletzt mit "Warplane" eine weitere Auskopplung aus dem Album. Ein mitreißender Track, der auf einem rasenden Minimal-Beat aufbaut, und einige von Heartworms bisher aufrüttelndsten Texten enthält, die eindrucksvolle Bilder von den Schrecken der Kriegsführung in Kombination mit ihrer Leidenschaft für Militärgeschichte heraufbeschwören.

Tracklist "Glutton For Punishment": 1. In The Beginning 2. Just To Ask A Dance 3. Jacked 4. Mad Catch 5. Extraordinary Wings 6. Warplane 7. Celebrate 8. Smuggler’s Adventure 9. Glutton For Punishment

Live: 06.03.2025 Berlin - Kantine am Berghain 07.03.2025 Hamburg - Nochtwache 08.03.2025 Köln - Blue Shell Booking: target Concerts

Plunge into the abyss with London goth punk Jojo Orme and her band Heartworms with their debut EP's unsettling Retributions of an Awful Life. Channelling Reznor and Interpol by way of disquieting martial imagery makes a dramatic first impression in the indie space and is your soundtrack to a collapsing world

[ananas-pineapple-thing]

Take two Peyyi bestie please tell me just how problematic the Todhunter Moon Triology is 🤔

THANK YOU FOR ASKING BESTIE 😤😩 it breaks my heart to see people reading such a toxic series and we NEED to get the truth out 🤬

tod almost drowning to see if she has gills is so problematic????? how are the readers supposed to know we shouldn’t try that ourselves??? ngl angie sage not specifically writing to not try this at home is so messed up it makes me sick 😠😠 by not writing that she is LITERALLY encouraging her fans to try it- most of whom are lgbtq and not to mention vulnerable minors, which makes her HOMOPHOBIC too 😤 tod is a HORRIBLE role model and her existence caused an increase in minors drowning (google tried to cover this up which is why you won’t find the info online 😠)

literally every character is portrayed as so evil and toxic??? even beloved characters from the first series??? like lucy is SO selfish 🙄🙄 she makes william getting kidnapped all about herself like SHE isn’t the one who got kidnapped here?? why is she getting so worked up SMH she really can’t let william get attention for anything even being kidnapped 😤 it’s so sick and normalizes bad parenting especially since no one calls her out on it????

it puts such a bad taste in my mouth to see everyone stanning the pathfinders like the concept of being discriminated for their glowing hair and skin is LITERALLY appropriating racism and as a person of color this makes me feel UNSAFE but go off i guess 🙄

and speaking of pathfinders?? the sarn twins?? are literally such problematic characters?? like ferdie loves to sew and spends her time babysitting william 🙄🙄 oskar loves mechanical things 🙄🙄 this REEKS of promoting toxic gender stereotypes 🤬 ferdie never gets a job in series because angie sage HATES career women 😤 this is why tod, marcia, lucy, jenna, and other working women in the series are portrayed as toxic 😩

while we’re on the subject of marcia, she’s literally so problematic for marrying a man and therefore promoting sexist stereotypes but none of you are ready for this conversation 🙄🙄

this is a criticism of the toxic fandom and not the series but don’t get me STARTED on people hating tod’s aunt mitza???? we can’t blame her for trying to kill tod?? she’s literally just grieving and probably has depression 😤 stop demonizing mentally ill people 😠😠 killing tod’s mum was OBVIOUSLY a call for help that was ignored so her actions afterwards make complete sense?? she’s just a woman struggling with a mental illness... and some of you hate women SO much just say you’re a misogynist and LEAVE. does your back hurt from reaching for reasons to hate women 🙄🙄 and seeing everyone so quick to paint her as a villain just shows how ableist this fandom is 🤬

and this shows how toxic tod is 😤😤 if she didn’t want her aunt to kill her maybe she should’ve tried harder to be a better niece?? and stop being so ableist?? judging by her actions, tod canonically blames mitza for her mental illness and depression 😠 it makes me sick to see people stanning her 😠 another sign of angie’s problematic writing, she should’ve condemned tod in the book so vulnerable minors won’t copy her problematic actions 😭😤

also jojo and marissa are FASCISTS and are CLEARLY promoting fascism??? like why else would they seize power like that 🙄🤬 why would they become the new rulers instead of restructuring the government so the people could rule? 🤔🤔😳😤 including their POVS is literally so messed up like vulnerable minors will read this series and think it’s okay to be a fascist? it’s CLEARLY irresponsible writing and also promoting and normalizing colonialism 😤😤 in fact the entire THM series is colonialist propaganda 😠😠

ferdie and tod are such toxic friends to oskar and are basically emotionally abusing him??? them not wanting him to hang out with the orm is SO ableist because oskar is ND coded and ferdie and tod are refusing to interact with his special interest??? just because the orm bites people and tries to kill them 🙄🙄🙄 it’s literally so gross it makes me sick

TO TOP IT OFF... apprentices in the series aren’t paid??? the series is obviously promoting breaking child labor laws and the concept of indentured servitude??? 😤😤🤬🤬🤬

AND everyone in the series is english too?? it’s so problematic and everyone normalizes it like being english isn’t inherently promoting imperialism 😤😤😠

Isis, vedova bianca uccisa da un drone

Per anni è stata una degli incubi degli investigatori che seguivano il flusso di foreign fighters verso la Siria: con i suoi messaggi in inglese diffusi via social media infatti, era diventata una delle più importanti reclutatrici dello Stato Islamico, in particolare di giovani donne. Ora Sally Jones, 47 anni, ex chitarrista in una band punk rock convertita all’Islam, sarebbe stata uccisa da un attacco di droni in Siria. La morte della “Vedova bianca”, come era stata soprannominata, è stata rivelata da fonti britanniche ai giornali inglesi ma non ci sono conferme ufficiali e oltreoceano gli investigatori americani appaiono molto prudenti. Jones sarebbe stata colpita mentre era in fuga da Raqqa, verso il confine con l’Iraq: al momento dell’attacco con lei ci sarebbe stato anche il figlio JoJo, 12 anni, che potrebbe essere anche lui morto. Sally Jones, originaria di Greenwich si era convertita all'Islam dopo aver sposato Junaid Hussein e aveva seguito le orme del marito nell'adesione al jihadismo fino a lasciare nel 2013 la sua casa nel Kent per raggiungerlo con bimbo al seguito in Siria. Hussein risulta esser stato a sua volta ucciso in un raid nel 2015, ma questo non ha impedito alla vedova di continuare a far propaganda all'Isis, ad attirare giovani verso Raqqa, a scrivere messaggi di minaccia contro "i Cristiani" e a pianificare attacchi terroristici. Famose le foto che postava in Rete, in particolare quella in cui, vestita da suora, puntava la pistola alla testa di prigionieri. Read the full article
