ALBUM REVIEW: W.H. Lung – Every Inch of Earth Pulsates

Melodic

Released: 01.11.24

For the first time since 2021’s Vanities, W.H. Lung return with a third release. An appetising selection of singable, single-worthy tracks, this album is richer in indie pop than psychedelia, in spite of its unmistakeably trippy name.

Since their inception seven years ago, the Mancunian five-piece have earned their reputation as a formidable live act. The band strived to capture this energy on their new album, most audible on single Bloom And Fade and opening track Lilac Sky. However, this live energy is not to the detriment of meticulous production, melding synth pop and post-punk-tinged indie rock into one coherent whole, and songs such as The Painting Of The Bay are testament to the group’s enduring talent and artistry.
