Heartworms has confirmed her debut album 'Glutton For Punishment' with new single 'Warplane'
The new single precedes Heartworms' debut album, set for release in February via Speedy Wunderground.
Heartworms has announced her debut album 'Glutton For Punishment'.
The record is set for release on 7th February via Speedy Wunderground. The South London artist has also shared a new single 'Warplane', accompanied by a video directed by Gilbert Trejo.
Speaking about the track, 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. The song ends how I imagine his falling Spitfire sounds to me, like an angel losing its extraordinary wings.'
Discussing the album and its accompanying imagery, she adds: "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."
'Glutton For Punishment' was produced by Dan Carey and follows Heartworms' 2023 EP 'A Comforting Notion'.
Alongside the album announcement, Heartworms has revealed details of a 2025 UK and EU tour. Tickets will be available via presale on 17th October at 10am, with general sale beginning on 18th October at 10am.
