Manchester psych/post-punk band W H Lung have unleashed their new single “The Painting of the Bay“.
The track serves as the third taste of their upcoming third album ‘Every Inch of Earth Pulsates‘, set to arrive on 18th October through Melodic Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Staying true to W.H. Lung’s style, the new album spans genres from dance to pop to indie while maintaining their distinct sound. It shows a tremendous evolution, expanding on their existing foundation while exploring new areas.
Frontman Joseph Evans, said of the new track:
“On the day this song was written, I was hurting and had gone to a gallery to try and find some peace. I stood for a while in front of a painting by Cezanne called “The Bay Of Marseilles.” I love this painting, but I was looking and looking and just feeling nothing, which made me feel worse, I came home and found that Tom had sent me an idea he’d done on the acoustic, and straight away the whole song just took shape; I think I wrote it stood up in the kitchen.”
Take a listen now.
