I really can't improve on the original post I did on this song back in June, so I am shamelessly re-posting it...
Heartworms Jojo Orme comes across very much as a young woman who doesn't take any shit. Witness the icy stare in the video to 'Retributions Of An Awful Life', the standout track on her debut EP A Comforting Notion. She also survived a Production and Performance course at South Gloucestershire and Stroud College, without being crushed by the naked hostility of her fellow students and has lived on her own since she was 16. When asked to describe her sound in an interview for Fred Perry she opted for "Gothic military fairy?" which feels like as good a summary as any.
'Retributions Of An Awful Life' combines these icy elements with crunchy goth infused industrial sounds, scratchy, choppy guitars and a terrible sense of foreboding. She's signed to Speedy Wunderground, has been playlisted on 6Music, and the future looks bright for such a dark artist. The album, whenever it happens, will be very keenly anticipated.
