W. H. Lung Announce Debut LP 'Incidental Music', Stream "Simpatico People"

Manchester psych/post-punk band W. H. Lung have announced the release of their long-awaited debut album 'Incidental Music'.

Set to arrive on on April 5 via Melodic Records, the album was recorded in stints with Matt Peel, who they credit as having a key role. “When we recorded ‘Inspiration!’ none of us had a clue about synths or drum machines,” says Tom S.. “Matt had his own modular set-up and we started turning to that more and more.” 

W. H. Lung have allowed this album to naturally gestate over the course of two years, avoiding the temptation to rush a release on the back of a bit of buzz. The result is a remarkably considered debut. The production is crisp and pristine but not over-polished, the synths and electronics radiate and hum with a golden aura and the vocals weave between tender delivery and forceful eruptions. There is a palpable energy to all the songs which sound more like the offerings of a band at their creative peak, hitting full stride..
