Album Review: Every Inch of Earth Pulsates by W. H. Lung
Excellent, Based on 3 Critics
Based on rating 8.5/10
On their third album, Every Inch of Earth Pulsates, W.H. Lung decided to adopt a more instinctive approach to songwriting, focusing on attempting to capture the electric energy of their remarkable live performances. This new method involved trusting their muse and avoiding overthinking to preserve the raw emotion and vitality of their music. To help bring this vision to fruition, the band collaborated with Sheffield-based producer Ross Orton (MIA, Arctic Monkeys, Working Men's Club).
Based on rating 4/5
The name of this band involves a reference only Manchester natives would understand and, after their second album, that seemed increasingly apt. W.H. Lung are the best, if probably only, band in Britain to be named after a cash and carry supermarket, but while that nod has been well-received in their hometown, as have their incendiary live shows, they've yet to find a wider audience nationally.
Opinion: Excellent
From their 2017 single ‘Inspiration! ' onwards, it’s been clear that W.H. Lung knows how to meticulously craft a catchy tune. The Mancunian band’s blend of krautrock, post-punk, and synthpop has never been anything but polished, but their tracks could come across as meandering at times. An impressive live act, the band has now wisely aimed to capture their more forceful side, linking up with Artic Monkeys and MIA collaborator Ross Orton.
