Heartworms have announced details of debut EP ‘A Comforting Notion’ – listen to new single ‘Retributions Of An Awful Life’ below.
A new collection from the NME 100 graduates will be released on March 24 at Speedy Wunderground.
“Retributions Of An Awful Life” comes alongside an official video from Niall Trask and Dan Matthews, of which Heartworms said in a statement: “The lyric itself is very disturbing, I wanted it to come to life in action. I had the idea of equipping myself in full military uniform without particular regiments, in black and white clothes, submerging my body in cold water and wet mud. It was out of my comfort zone because I can’t swim; deep water scares me a lot, especially when it’s cold and in full military gear.
“Few artists/bands I know have done something so raw,” she added. “I didn’t want to shoot a trendy video with cute dancers or cute wallpaper pasted with an airbrush filter — I wanted to absorb new pain, relive punishment, overcome fears while maintaining ruthlessness with my friends. To subject your body to something frightening just for the sake of art… there’s something exciting about that.”

In NME’s new list of 100 new bands for 2023, we said of Heartworms: “Recently signed to cult label Speedy Wunderground by producer midas touch Dan Carey (The Lounge Society, Honeyglaze), Jojo Orme aka Heartworms has made a name for himself. for herself with her winning post-punk sound and Manics’Holy Bible’ military attire.
“Inspired by the dark corners of ’80s indie music, the hypnotic sounds of early Interpol and the sheer power of PJ Harvey, the world of Heartworms is dark yet rich – a lyrical punch against mediocrity. Get dark and go downstairs.
In March, Heartworms will embark on a UK tour which will include an EP launch show at London’s Lexington.

Speaking to NME last year about a Radar article, Orme, her live performance is a chance to break down “preconceived notions of the smallness and fragility of the female musician,” adding: “In the music industry, being a woman is always going to be a problem. Some men find it difficult to praise your work. It’s like, “Ignore my gender, listen to the work.”
