Heartworms

Sharp, military-precise post-punk with a gothic edge. Cold drum machines and metallic guitars create a high-tension atmosphere for late nights in the city.

Intro

Heartworms sounds like the intersection of a high-fashion runway and a rain-slicked industrial estate. The music is defined by a rigid, almost military precision, driven by motorik drum machine beats and basslines that feel like they were forged in a steel mill. It carries the DNA of early 80s darkwave but polished with a modern, high-fidelity sheen that makes every guitar stab feel like a surgical incision.

What truly sets Jojo Orme apart is her theatricality. She doesn't just sing; she commands the track with a delivery that shifts from a detached, icy deadpan to a soaring, gothic intensity. There is a palpable sense of discipline in the arrangements, where silence is used as effectively as noise, creating a tension that never quite resolves, keeping the listener in a state of hyper-focused alertness.

Start with the single 'Consistent Drip' or 'May I Be Foregiven' to hear that signature blend of mechanical rhythm and emotional volatility. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who finds beauty in the cold, the sharp, and the meticulously constructed. This is music for people who prefer the shadows of the city to the warmth of the sun.
