HMLTD's ambitious second full-length The Worm is a stunning nine-track concept album that transports listeners to an anachronistic medieval England. The product of two years' work involving almost fifty collaborators, this art-rock opus showcases the band's remarkable world-building skills through jaw-droppingly immense swellings of guitars, pianos, and orchestras that give way to both literal and metaphorical narrative revelations.
Drawing from an eclectic range of influences spanning Neon Genesis Evangelion to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, and from Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" to Nina Simone's "Sinnerman," the album weaves together jazz, gospel, and spoken word elements with natural theatricality reminiscent of a West End soundtrack. This indie exclusive pink vinyl edition perfectly complements the album's central "Worm God" character (also known as "the pink thing"), making it an essential piece for collectors seeking both musical innovation and visual appeal.
