HEARTWORMS WARPLANE

‘Warplane’ is the new single from South London artist Heartworms. Her work has always been hard to pigeonhole, and this new track is no different: part ultra-modern experimentalism, part 80s throwback, with electronic sounds, a post-punk attitude and a bit of an anthemic goth influence thrown in for good measure. Despite its off-kilter blend of sounds, Heartworms has managed to maintain a huge melodic sensibility throughout ‘Warplane’, which works hand in hand with her dextrous lyricism. Heartworms is dropping her debut album, Glutton For Punishment, on February 7th, 2024, via Speedy Wunderground. She expands: “With my EP, people kind of pigeonholed me into post-punk. I was like, ‘Cool, I can do that, but I can also do way more’ – I can do post-punk, but I can also be poppy and catchy, and this album represents that. I think people might be surprised when they hear it.” -Dan Peeke
