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.

[Album + Video] Moreish Idols kündigen Debütalbum "All In The Game" an!

Moreish Idols aus dem Süden Englands kündigen ihr Debütalbum "All In The Game" an, das am 7. März auf Speedy Wunderground erscheint. Veröffentlicht sind bereits die Singles "Pale Blue Dot" und "Slouch". Mit der Ankündigung veröffentlicht die Band mit "Dream Pixel" auch einen weiteren Song aus dem Album.

Während die Debüt-EP "Float" aus 2022 einen rastlosen Sound zeigte, der von energiegeladenem Post-Punk beeinflusst war, zeigte die zweite EP "Lock Eyes And Collide" (2023) mit unruhigen Tremolo-Gitarren und wilden Saxophon-Improvisationen eine ganz andere Seite der Band.

"All In The Game" befasst sich mit der Frage, wie wir unsere begrenzte Zeit auf der Erde verstehen: “Time being spent, time being wasted, time getting away from you”, erklärt Bassist Caspar Swindells, “but being able to realise that time is what you make of it.” Das Debütalbum ist voll von Dan Careys exzentrischen Produktionsideen, die größtenteils durch das Konzept der Zeit inspiriert sind. Trotz der bohrenden Fragen über die menschliche Zerbrechlichkeit sind die Schlussfolgerungen, zu denen die Songs über das Leben gelangen, jedoch hoffnungsvoll und bejahend.

"Dream Pixel" kombiniert vielschichtigen Gesang mit einer psychedelischen Instrumentierung, die sich um gebrochene Beat-Rhythmen windet. „Inspired by the experience of swimming in phosphorescence in Cornwall, ‘Dream Pixel’ celebrates the moments in life that could easily be mistaken for a dream, glitch or trip.”

Tracklist "All In The Game": 01. Ambergrin 02. Railway 03. All In The Game 04. Sundog 05. Pale Blue Dot 06. ACID 07. Slouch 08. Out of Sight 09. Tiny Flies 10. Dream Pixel 11. Time's Wasting

Gone, no need When stiff, useless, when needed, limp Rid me of the hideous thing

Gets it right in the classroom But wrong in the examination hall What use is that?

Damn it all, useless thing All machines designed after it All worse, none better, i.e. all shit

EPIC ALBUM COVER #29

Moreish Idols - Lock Eyes and Collide

Released: 2023 (Speedy Wunderground)

Post-punk, indie rock

[sad-yeehaw]

First picture is of Lewsberg at Outer Limits in Hamtramck on October 13th, 2023

Second picture is the album cover for Out And And About that came out this year

I first heard them when their Speedy Wunderground 7" came out called Six Hills. I didn't stick with me at the time but I remembered their name enough to check out this album when it came out and I'm very glad I did. They have such a beautifully minimal approach to the twee pop and post punk sound. I'm always a strong advocate for minimal approaches to music and this is a great example of it. I have since listened their discography a bunch of times and still love them and am stoked to have got to see them on their US tour that just passed.

Foals welcome bassist Walter Gervers back to the band

"Get ready, the boys are back in business"

By Andrew Trendell | 2nd May 2023 | NME

Foals have announced that former bassist Walter Gervers has re-joined the band.

The band, who are currently gearing up for a run of intimate UK out-store shows before hitting the road to support Paramore in South America and then later return to headline Reading & Leeds, had previously teased to NME that they’d have a ��surprise” for fans about who’d be playing with them at the upcoming gigs.

Now, they’ve revealed that Gervers is back in the line-up, following his departure from the group in 2017.

“After six years in the alpine wilderness guess who’s back in the band?,” wrote frontman Yannis Philippakis in an Instagram post of his fellow Foals members in the pub with Gervers. “Walter is back and better than ever. Rejoining for all the coming shows and into the future. Get ready, the boys are back in business.”

The band then went on to share footage of the reunited line-up back in rehearsals.

Gervers previously left the group in order to “pursue a new life”. The band remained a four-piece before becoming a trio when keyboardist Edwin Congreave left in 2021 to focus on his studies and environmental work. Following Gervers’ exit, live bass duties have been carried out by Everything Everything’s Jeremy Pritchard and Jagwar Ma’s Jack Freeman.

Speaking to NME in 2019 ahead of the release of ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part One’ – their first record without Gervers – Philippakis spoke of how the band felt without him as “the counsellor” of Foals.

“Walter was probably the nicest member of Foals, so without him, you’re left with four sharp edges in a room,” said Yannis. “Those sharp edges have to find a way to get on quite quickly or the whole thing turns into an unbearable nightmare.”

Drummer Jack Bevan continued: “If you were to look at it as a family, and I’ve seen about 100 times more of these guys than I have my actual family over the last 10 years, then Walter was kind of like the dad or much older brother who kept us from fighting with each other. A lot of the time, he was the one who would organise us to do nice and wholesome activities.”

Last month saw Foals release the dub remix of their acclaimed 2022 album ‘Life Is Yours’ by Speedy Wunderground label boss and super-producer Carey (Wet Leg, Slowthai, Fontaines D.C.) as part of 2023’s Record Store Day releases.

Philippakis told NME about how the “sweaty and unclean” remix album “goes into space, via Streatham”, as well as their hopes and plans for touring with Paramore and headlining Reading & Leeds for a second time.

Foals embark on a short run of intimate UK dates this month before Reading & Leeds in August. Visit here for tickets and more information.

6/22/23.

Lewsberg (Rotterdam) is one of my favorite bands from Netherlands (the other is Bingo Trappers). Lewsberg grooves like Mo Tucker and strums like Lou Reed. And yes, I know that means they can remind a listener of the Velvet Underground. By extension that means they also recall The Feelies, The Trypes or Speed the Plough.

A couple of years back I bought the excellent "Six Hills" 7" released by Speedy Wunderground. Now we have this two song cassette containing 2 alternate versions of songs that will appear on the soon-to-be-released LP "Out & About".

This cassette looks to be self-released. If interested, check out another great Rotterdam band, Kwartet Niek Hilkmann.

[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
