Talk about apt band names. Few acts can get inside your head — or at least the part of the brain that makes your heart beat quick and your limbs flail sick — quite like Hookworms. Normally the centers of attention when it comes to tickling your pleasure centers, the band’s initial-only members are content to sit on the sidelines this time around while they witness four fantastic new remixes of their Microshift tracks fill the floor.
Domino Records will issue Microshift Remixes as a limited-to-500 copies EP on November 23. Nik Colk Void (Factory Floor), Free Love (formerly known as Happy Meals), XAM (Hookworms’ MB), and prime time producer Luke Abbott have tackled the ‘Worms’ “Negative Space,” “Shortcoming,” “Each Time We Pass,” and “Ullswater,” respectively. The last of these, Abbott’s pulsating rendering of the hook heavy “Ullswater” can be heard below.
November 23 seems like a long way off, but feel free to pre-order yourself some parasites by clicking here.
