Birmingham show for Hookworms

There's been a Microshift in the career of Hookworms recently, who on the back of the release of their critically acclaimed album have announced a string of shows which stop off in Birmingham in the autumn.

The band will be joined by special guest Blanck Mass at Digbeth's The Crossing on November 10.

In addition to the tour, the band will release the kraut-inspired Ullswater as the latest single from the Microshift album.

Microshift is the Leeds band's first new work in more than three years and marks a seismic shift in their sound, dynamic, song-writing and production.

A spokesman said: "Radiant, immersive and teeming with light, but still heavy and forceful – the music on Microshift acts as a very deliberate counter to some of the difficult topics the album's lyrics address. Death, disease, heartbreak, body image and even natural disaster are all present here but the overall effect these songs achieve is euphoric catharsis."
