Posted January 30, 20232 yr Thought I'd create a thread for this promising goth meets post-rock artist after my Nuggets entry 'Consistent Dedication' finished 5th and seems to be receiving further love in personal charts! A new song titled 'Retributions Of An Awful Life' is out now and I think I like it even more *.* thC-C_Bk8H0 BPVCuF5bMqw An accompanying EP called A Comforting Notion is out on 24th March 2023 - very excited based on these two songs!
January 30, 20232 yr The new single is really good, very much looking forward to the EP in March! There's a great interview with Jojo here: https://thequietus.com/articles/32146-heart...-orme-interview Loving the INterpol and PJ Harvey influences. : )
January 30, 20232 yr I wasn't 100% with the Consistent Dedication (the screaming took me out of it a bit x), though I appreciated it's uniqueness. This new one popped up on my New Music Mix though and I'm liking it much more, the slow building intensity of the instrumental and spoken word vocals fit really well.

I love her already, especially after shouting out Pornography by The Cure as an all-time favourite album.

This new one popped up on my New Music Mix though and I'm liking it much more, the slow building intensity of the instrumental and spoken word vocals fit really well. I'm not usually into screaming (:lol:) so I was surprised by how much I liked 'Consistent Dedication'. But yeah, the new one is definitely more palatable if that was off-putting, glad you like! :wub:
January 31, 20232 yr As much as I love Retributions... I still think it's the weakest of the three singles so far but that is still a high bar. Thankfully the accompanying tour will be taking in Brighton so I will get the chance to see them live again as they were among my highlights from last years shows
January 31, 20232 yr Three? Did they have another song that got taken down / never released? I only see these two songs from them on YouTube and Spotify! Really liking both of these songs anyway, I think 'Consistent Dedication' is the slightly better of the two for me but definitely another promising act to keep an eye on in this lane.

Just had a quick search and it looks like the What Can I Do video was taken down. There was a video up as recently as last spring but I can's see it now Still up on bandcamp to listen to https://heartwormsband.bandcamp.com/track/what-can-i-do-2 Edited January 31, 20232 yr by Severin
February 25, 20232 yr Author 'Retributions of an Awful Life' has been added to the 6Music playlist! It has swiftly become one of my favourite songs of the year so far.
March 5, 20232 yr ^Great to see it on the 6Music playlist! There's a live performance of 3 of the tracks from the EP from the Dutch station 3voor12: 00:00 24 Hours 04:28 Consistent Dedication 07:32 Retributions Of An Awful Life wlkzBzKvSek
March 24, 20232 yr Now out! Very promising EP indeed and some decent reviews coming out already. “24 Hours” in full studio HQ is pretty glorious. “Retributions Of An Awful Life” remains the massive standout but whole thing goes hard.
March 24, 20232 yr Yeah it's been on pretty heavy rotation for me since Weds. One of the best releases of the year so far, for me. Also, as a live performer she has come on so well in the last twelve months or so. Her show at Great Escape last year was a highlight of the festival but her show the other night is an early contender for gig of the year 2023. (Chucking in a Sisters of mercy cover was a brilliant move too). If you get the chance go before she stops playing tiny venues
March 30, 20232 yr Author ^ thanks for putting the 'Dominion' cover on YouTube (judging by the username on there!) - I love that song in its original form and her take is also sounding pretty great Really enjoying the EP as well *.* 'Retributions of an Awful Life' is still #1 in my personal chart at the moment :lol: but the whole thing is fantastic, she's a breath of fresh air right now

It's a great version, faithful but her own thing. The unreleased tracks are really good too. Jacked is possibly my favourite but you can only hear it live
March 31, 20232 yr Loved the first two singles from this, and 24 Hours is good enough too. I had bought What Can I do on bandcamp too which I've enjoyed a lot. Very annoying she was announced as Black Honey support after it had sold out. A gig on Saturday evening when I had day plans and was going away for a fortnight the day after I didn't bother, I'd like to see them but they're not a must - if they were here any other night this week I would have done, but if they'd have announced supports before then I'd have got one for tomorrow!
