7digital What we said: On Boxing Day 2015, heavy rain caused the River Aire to burst its banks, devastating areas of Leeds and flooding the recording studio of Hookworms-frontman MJ. Following a colossal clean-up job, the very existence of this – their third album – is a victory in itself, and that’s before you even consider the huge strides forward they’ve made creatively. Where previous records lurked in the vicinity of scuzzy garage and psych-rock, Microshift finds the five-piece drawing on Krautrock and embracing loops, programming and electronic sounds, eliciting euphoric results. Throughout, the soaring sonics are carefully balanced by MJ’s searing lyrics, which tackle issues as weighty as grief and Alzheimer’s, anxiety and body dysmorphia. A superb album, from start to finish.
