UK Hookworms drive into the heart of the Microshift

Will McGuirk January 10, 2018

I'm old school - I'm a sucker for songs which skip the head and the heart and go straight for the crotch, if you can get all three all power to you but if you are going to pick one go low. Hookworm from Leeds. UK,  go low. There's a lot of head and heart in their tracks, lot of drone, lot of prog, lot of smarts, lot of strings but there's also a drive and an energy and a rumble and veering and its get-loose-time in the best of the Velvet Underground/ Pink Floyd-dy psychotic trips. But there's a new album due, "Microshift" - it seems based on the available tracks they have just shifted up a gear.
