Leeds psyche band Hookworms have announced details of their new LP, The Hum.
Due for release on 10 November 2014 via Domino Records, the album is the five piece’s follow up to debut Pearl Mystic.
Guitarist SS said: ‘We were writing Pearl Mystic to an audience in the same way your diary has an audience.
‘It’s written to one but if no one ever reads it that’s not a big deal. This time round though we knew we had a really clear audience, so The Hum is really about different freedoms and constraints - with Pearl Mystic the possibilities were almost too vast, this time around we had a much clearer idea of what the record should be like and that became freeing because we didn’t need to worry about its direction so much.’
Domino describes how the album is a further development of their blueprint of proto-punk, garage rock, Washington DC hardcore and eighties British spacerock.
The band will be playing the following shows this autumn around the release. Check out our interview with the band about their debut LP and the songwriting process.
