Description
The urgency and viscera both live and on record that led Yorkshire-based five-piece Hookworms to prominence across two blistering full length albums, 2013s Pearl Mystic and 2014 follow-up The Hum, remains. However, as they return with their much-anticipated third record Microshift, the band deliver a seismic shift in their sound, dynamic, songwriting and production.
Radiant, immersive and teeming with light but still heavy and forceful, the music on Microshift acts as a very deliberate counter to some of the difficult topics the albums lyrics address ranging from death, disease, heartbreak, body image and even natural disaster.
Hookworms have pulled off a triumph against adversity, a comeback with what they may see as a Microshift but is in fact a massive advancement.
LP pressed on 180g heavyweight black vinyl, with printed inner sleeve and digital download code.
