RELEASE DATE
6/1/2018
2018 repress; Long-awaited repress on black-and-white splatter vinyl; Edition of 500. The debut vinyl release of Leeds's
Hookworms
. The Hookworms 12" features four songs, clocks in at around 27 minutes. The release was previously only available on tape via
Sun Araw
's Sun Ark label and that sold out in a matter of weeks. Hookworms formed in late 2009 at a time when most of the group's members were also playing together in a snappy punk group. The punk and garage background is important, because it has a lot to do with the energy that makes Hookworms so noticeable. Many groups think they can make good on psych-rock by just wigging out to their own ends, during interminable jam sessions that only come to a halt when someone decides "That's long enough." Most of Hookworms' songs are around the six-minute mark, which isn't long at all, and each one is constantly doing something. The singer and keyboard player delivers his vocals like
The Gun Club
's
Jeffery Lee Pierce
on
Fire of Love
-- frantic and impassioned. The guitars color in and around the lines, informed just as much by
Flipper
's
Ted Falconi
as "Sister Ray." Bass grooves lead the way, sage in their wisdom over which path to take. This is tidy stuff, a purposeful and fully conscious journey into the realms of
Zoss
. It's also a journey taking place on increasingly large stages, where they're just as confident at filling the sonic space as at the small venues where they started out.
