HawaiiWorms is the evocative solo project of Pete Collins, known for his work with the experimental hauntronica and darkwave outfit Flange Circus. September 2025 sees Pete branch out on his own with the Kiosk 67 EP, which follows in the wake of his summer single, Mirrors. On Kiosk 67, HawaiiWorms draws from the ethereal melancholy of Piano Magic and The Montgolfier Brothers, the post-punk grooves of New Order, and the lush, cinematic soundscapes of The Blue Nile. Throughout the EP, Pete looks back to those influences to weave a sonic tapestry that is both intimate and expansive, and very contemporary. With a focus on atmospheric textures created with hardware and software synths, heartfelt melodies, and introspective lyrics, the music of HawaiiWorms explores themes of memory, isolation, and the beauty found in transitory experiences.
