The former Breakout star will release her debut album via Speedy Wunderground on February 7, 2025. So far, she has previewed the record with the blistering single ‘Jacked‘, which landed last June.

Now, Heartworms has shared the next teaser of the album – ‘Warplane’, which is dedicated to William Gibson Gordon, “a Spitfire pilot who was killed in action by an Me109 at just 20 years old. The song ends how I imagine his falling Spitfire sounds to me, like an angel losing its extraordinary wings.”

The musician also shared details on the album, where she said: “I’ve been chastised my whole life; made to feel as if I didn’t belong, punished for not fitting into a perfect image of how a growing woman should be. When you’re told something enough times you start to believe it.

“I often find myself locked into an unhealthy cycle of craving harsh discipline, greedy for the familiarity it brings but terrified of the consequences – better the devil you know. But this album doesn’t just reflect my own experiences; it reflects those of the people in my life and the stories of others that I think need to be heard.”

‘Glutton For Punishment’ will serve as the Cheltenham musician’s follow-up to debut EP ‘A Comforting Notion’. In a five-star review, NME said of the EP: “There’s a real depth to Heartworms’ music that matches the image, and proves her to be a true and powerful outlier of her time. It’s quite likely that Heartworms will never fill stadiums, but she could change your world.

“‘A Comforting Notion’ feels urgent and important, brimming with all the promise of the next great cult act.”

In a five-star review of her London show at Village Underground last November, NME concluded: “It’s clear there’s already a movement here. This is not just a pastiche of what you’d expect from ‘UK GOTHIC POST PUNK’, this is already a fully-rounded world delivered with courage and intent.”
