Heartworms Announces Debut Album “Glutton For Punishment”, Shares New Song “Warplane”
London-based post-punk singer-songwriter Jojo Orme's solo project Heartworms has announced her upcoming debut album “Glutton For Punishment” will be released on February 7, 2025 via Speedy Wunderground .
The album comprises a 9-track, produced by Dan Carey.
From the album, Heartworms released a new song “Warplane” on October 14, 2024.
The song is the second single off of the album, following “Jacked” released back in June.
The track is dedicated to William Gibson Gordon, who was a Spitfire pilot. It was written by Jojo Orme, and produced by Dan Carey.
The accompanying music video was directed by Gilbert Trejo.
Heartworms said of the song, “The opening lyrics set the scene of a dogfight in the air while civilians are witnessing it take shape. My imagination is always out of my control, and my love of Spitfires even more so, so I couldn't help but make this about a spitfire pilot.”
She continued, “I am dedicating this to William Gibson Gordon – a Spitfire pilot who was killed in action by an Me109 at just 20 years old. The song ends how I imagine his falling Spitfire sounds to me, like an angel losing its extraordinary wings.”- Heartworms said of the album, “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.”
She added, “I've been chastised my whole life; made to feel as if I didn't belong, punished for not fitting into a perfect image of how a growing woman should be. When you're told something enough times you start to believe it. I often find myself locked into an unhealthy cycle of craving harsh discipline, greedy for the familiarity it brings but terrified of the consequences – better the devil you know. But this album doesn't just reflect my own experiences; it reflects those of the people in my life and the stories of others that I think need to be heard.” -
