    Just saw the Hookworms live and this latest material just does not come across well. They seem to have lost there essence.

    Microshift manages to be both their most accessible work and their most intense: the sound of an already powerful band gaining not just clarity, but focus.

    Microshift clearly demonstrates that Hookworms are operating on a new level.

    In some ways, Microshift is Hookworms’ equivalent of that album [Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion]. A band with an established sound embracing electronics and pop songwriting like never before, but managing to do so without it feeling remotely forced, and finding their biggest audience yet as a result.
