Gilbert Trejo: Last News

Heartworms has dropped her latest single ‘24 Hours’, and covered The Sisters Of Mercy at her live performances.The latest track is taken from the musician’s newly-released debut EP, ‘A Comforting Notion’, which is released via Speedy Wunderground.According to Heartworms – whose real name is Jojo Orme – the song is designed to reflect the everyday struggles faced by adolescents. Check out the haunting visuals for the song, directed by Gilbert Trejo, here:“‘24 Hours’ is about general struggles of teenage growth, secondary school and moments of regret,” Orme said.

Heartworms has shared a foreboding new single titled ‘Extraordinary Wings’. Check it out below.The new track from the South London artist and NME Cover star comes as the latest preview of her highly anticipated album ‘Glutton For Punishment’.

Heartworms has shared her blistering new single ‘Jacked’ and announced three intimate UK shows.The new track is the first release from the London artist since 2023’s ‘May I Comply‘ taken from acclaimed debut EP ‘A Comforting Notion‘. Heartworms, real name Jojo Orme, has once again reunited with regular collaborator Gilbert Trejo, who also directed the videos for ’24 Hours’ and ‘May I Comply’.Discussing her vision for ‘Jacked’, Orme said the song touches on “a darkness or entity which you are running away from… but it is really you that holds it.”Director Trejo said because of that, it was crucial to feature Orme “alone in the world” in the video to match the song’s apocalyptic tone.“To me,” he said, “‘Jacked’ is the soundtrack to a paranoid fever dream,” with his visuals reinforcing the “feeling of loneliness and the unknown” with Orme sprinting away from a mysterious figure.“There’s a movement and energy to the song that Jojo and I knew we needed to convey when we were writing the video,” he added.

Heartworms has shared her dark new single ‘May I Comply’ – listen to it below.The new track is the first release from Heartworms since March EP ‘A Comforting Notion’, which NME said in a five-star review was “brimming with all the promise of the next great cult act”.‘May I Comply’ arrives with an accompanying monochrome music video by Gilbert Trejo, who also directed Heartworms’ previous video ‘24 Hours’.“When I wrote this track I just wanted to get over an ex and to tell my little brother he’s good enough… turned out to be a lot darker than I thought,” Heartworms, real name Jojo Orme, shared in a press statement.Check out ‘May I Comply’ below.Gilbert Trejo added: “For ‘May I Comply’ Jojo and I wanted to lean harder into the stark black and white world that Heartworms is building, washing everything but the band out in a sea of emptiness. Between shooting ‘24 Hours’ and ‘May I Comply’ I’ve had the chance to photograph Heartworms on tour and was excited about capturing a bit more of the energy of Jojo’s performance at this stage.”‘May I Comply’ is produced by Speedy Wunderground head Dan Carey (Wet Leg, Slowthai, Fontaines D.C.) who Heartworms said she “idolised” before meeting him.“And then he came into my life and he sees me the same as I see him,” she told NME last year.
