Hookworms appearing at the 2018 Bluedot Festival (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Still one of the standout records of 2018, Hookworms will put a fresh spin on Microshift through the medium of a remix EP set for release on November 23rd.
The Microshift Remixes EP will be limited to 500 physical copies and contain reworkings of Negative Space, Ullswater, Shortcomings and Each Time We Pass from Nik Colk Void, Luke Abbott, Free Love and XAM (Hookworms’ own MB).
“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,” Live4ever’s review reads.
“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.”
