Heartworms announces debut album, Glutton For Punishment
South London auteur Heartworms has announced her forthcoming debut album, Glutton For Punishment, alongside the new single, "Warplane".
Expanding on the single, Heartworms says: “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.”
“I am dedicating this to William Gibson Gordon - a Spitfire pilot who was killed in action by an Me109 at just 20 years old," she continues. "The song ends how I imagine his falling Spitfire sounds to me, like an angel losing its extraordinary wings.”
Speaking on the album and the stirring imagery that accompanies it, Heartworms explains: “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.”
Heartworms has also announced an extensive EU/UK tour for February/March 2025, including her biggest London headline show to date at Electric Ballroom.
