The Daily Choice: Hookworms - Teen Dreams

I posted a track from Gross Magic yesterday and in researching them I was lucky enough to stumble across the Tumblr page for the amazing UK record label The Sounds of Sweet Nothing and have been dumbfoundedly blinking my eyes over their suggested listens all morning.  Take Hookworms, a little outfit from a place called Leeds, who manage to channel The Black Angels without submerging themselves in the murky emotional void psych-rocking individuals can so often find themselves mired.  Instead “Teen Dreams” builds on angst-soaked vocals and an overflowing cloud of crescendoing rock and roll noise that funnels down in to a similar psych trough, but takes an entirely different path there.

Hookworms first cassette will be released on Sun Ark Records.
