Nottingham’s Bloodworm share their acclaimed debut EP, “Blood & Lust”, on Your Childhood Records.
It follows the warmly received “Bloodlust” and “Alone In Your Garden”, singles that landed ahead of and in the aftermath of a sold-out tour with Suede. The gloomy, classic-sounding “Alone In Your Garden” went on to see significant daytime support at BBC 6 Music.
Honing their craft across formative shows over the last eighteen months, the band have already been the subject of feverish word of mouth attention and amassed a significant fanbase at home, selling out The Bodega as headliners at Halloween, and at one of last year’s earliest London shows, Richard Oakes of Suede happened to be in the audience by chance – so impressed was he by the young trio that they were offered them the chance to perform on the band’s 17 date sold-out tour at the start of the year.
While the atmospheric “Bloodlust” offered a slice of ice-cool post-punk and shimmering guitars bringing to mind the likes of The Cure, The Sound and Echo & The Bunnymen, “Alone In Your Garden” lurked further into the shadows still, with the most gothic take on their sound yet. With “The Crown” and “Clairvoyance” the band let the listener further still into their world.
