W. H. Lung Announce Debut LP 'Vanities', Stream "Pearl in the Palm"

Manchester psych/post-punk band W. H. Lung have announced the release of their second studio album 'Vanities'.

The follow-up to 2019's debut Incidental Music, will be out on 3rd September via Melodic Records and was written with a process of passing ideas back and forth, in a spirit of playfulness and exploration. The songs were then further refined in the studio of band member Chris Mulligan (guitar, bass, keys), a producer in his own right, who helped to further refine the arrangement and directness of the songs. Pre-order your copy here

'Vanities' is a bold electronic leap forward into the dance music they love. A record that is direct, punchy and potent - an ode to the dance floor that they had missed over the last year or so. 

Singer Joe Evans explains. “We wanted to move away from easing people in and grab them by the heart straight away. I reflected on how we played live shows and romanticised about launching onto the stage in a bundle of energy and starting the party, no messing. The directness comes from making music more intuitively, and more from a place of fun. We were writing music that affirmed how much we missed dancing in sweaty rooms, enjoying the company of a collection of beautiful friendly strangers.”

‘Pearl in the Palm’ is the first single. “A transition from the old W. H. Lung to new,” says Tom. It marries pulsing synths, galloping drums and a vocal take that is both caramel smooth but also fervently intense.

Perhaps most remarkable thing about 'Vanities' - aside from the unflinching new sonic leaps it takes - is that the band have taken a dormant year void of live experiences, sweaty clubs, or anything resembling fun times, and have made an album that makes that world feel palpable – that you can crawl inside it. “Lockdown gave me the time to pour work into myself and out came this wonderful album,” reflects Joe. “It was strange at first and I missed seeing my mates and having a laugh and dancing but this album is a direct reflection of creative flow brought on by the space given to us.”

'Vanities' is a very rare beast of a record: an album created in solitude that feels bursting with vitality and the love, promise and transcendence of shared dance floor experiences. Just in time for when we crave those the most.

New Entry: W. H. Lung Unveil New Single "Symmetry"

Manchester psych/post-punk band W. H. Lung have unveiled their new single "Symmetry".

The song is out today (October 29) via Melodic Records. Get it here.

'Symmetry' takes you for a wander through their hometown of Manchester via scattered statues (Alan Turing, Friedrich Engels, Queen Victoria) whilst highlighting the massive homeless problem in the city.

 Singer Joseph E. "There’s a statue of Alan Turing in a small park just off canal street in Manchester city centre. The statue has always struck me as odd, the face is quite childishly done and Turing seems to be offering his fruit to passers-by. People often sit with him and take pictures. The park is also regularly attended by the homeless community of Manchester. As visible a presence on the streets now as the statues of the great and famous.".

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..

Pre-order the album here, check out the tracklist and listen to their 10-minute long single "Simpatico People" below.

Incidental Music Tracklist:
01. Simpatico People
02. Bring It Up
03. Inspiration!
04. An Empty Room
05. Nothing Is
06. Want
07. Second Death Of My Face
08. Overnight Phenomenon
