Info zu Glutton For Punishment (The Poetry Edition)

Klasse Debütalbum der aus Südlondon stammenden Künstlerin, die mit großartiger Stimme durch die stürmischen Songs navigiert und dabei eine unglaubliche, oftmals divenhafte, aber auch überbordende emotionale Ausdruckskraft besitzt. Aber auch die Songs haben es in sich, sie atmen sowohl den Geist des Post-Punk als auch von Alternative und Indierock und die in den Sound integrierten Synthies geben dem Ganzen oftmals einen elektronischen Spin, dazu gesellt sich psychedelisch-noisige Lautmalerei im Background wie bei dem fantastischen "Jacked". Im Kontrast dazu agieren Songs wie "Mad Catch" an der Kante zum entschlackten NYC-Punkfunk a la LCD Soundsystem, während "Extraordinary" David Lynch-Atmo im Triphopkontext aufweist. Dieses Miteinander aus mitreissenden dunkle Soundgewitterwolken und tanzbaren, aber auch mit einer gesanglich exaltierten Haltung aufwartenden Songs sorgt für einen unglaublichen Sog. Über das Album und die mitreißende Bildsprache, erzählt Heartworms: "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." Von Dan Carey produziert.

Heartworms

Jojo Orme (Heartworms)
Jojo’s debut album, Glutton For Punishment, reveals her as a talented stylist and cutting lyricist, the 26-year-old musician deftly weaving stories about her childhood and her fractured relationship with her mother with the images of war and human suffering that have captivated and shocked her since she was young. Produced by Dan Carey (Wet Leg, Fontaines DC) and released on his Speedy Wunderground label, Glutton For Punishment taps into a lineage of gothic pop songwriting and production that includes PJ Harvey, Anna Calvi and Zola Jesus, while retaining Orme’s own skewiff, idiosyncratic sensibility. All album singles were added to the BBC Radio 6 Music playlist following support from Chris Hawkins, Steve Lamacq, Lauren Laverne, and Tom Ravenscroft at the station. The singles also grabbed spot plays from Radio X’s John Kennedy, BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders and Gemma Bradley, and Apple Music 1’s Matt Wilkinson. Backed by a full live band, Heartworms’ performances are a masterclass in poise; she describes the theatre brought to each show, usually punctuated by her intense stare, as a kick back against preconceived notions of ‘smallness’ and fragility as a female musician. On stage, Heartworms’ projection is the very antithesis: we see an artist who is big, powerful, and in total control.
