Hookworms have announced more UK dates for later this year.
The band will play Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and London in October and November to help promote their excellent new album Microshift. “As if the trauma which preceded it was a wiping of some invisible slate, the disasters both natural and personal which inform everything here surprisingly seem to open up a door to simple hedonism,” we said of it.
“Static Resistance is a rock and roll song at face value, MJ piling through various identities during it from glam rock charlatan to confessional minister, whilst Each Time We Pass reaches out to touch with some of the disarming naivete much beloved of Hot Chip. As if to emphasise the break with what’s gone before, closer Shortcomings is almost benign, disarmingly free from the complex mania of the band’s joint past.”
