W.h. Lung
Every Inch Of Earth Pulsates
'An ecstatic dance-rock hybrid with shades of New Order and hints of a Happy Mondays swagger.' The five-piece band decided to try something new on their third album after two incredibly successful collaborations with previous producer Matt Peel, and wanted to capture the energy, spirit and dynamism of their live shows. However, while this album is rooted in a sense of capturing a moment and a sparky liveness, that's not to say it's a raw or ragged record. It is still a meticulously composed, delicately layered and pristinely produced piece of work that, in true W.H. Lung style, runs the gauntlet from dance to pop to indie while still capturing that distinctly unique quality that is unquestionably their own. While the band have drilled deeper into finding their own singular identity, it's not a record resting on its laurels. It's a significant leap forward, expanding on their solid foundations while also breaking new ground. The band's overall mission for the album was to revert to a classic songwriting structure and for the production to come afterwards. And so what you have on this record are deeply considered and well-crafted songs, then recorded with blistering intensity in the moment, and then given a touch of experimentation afterwards.
