W H Lung’s Vanities is our pick of the albums reviewed on these pages during the past seven days – here’s your chance to stream the LP and revisit the review.
“It seemed like an outlier at the time, but released just over two years ago, W. H. Lung’s first album Incidental Music felt very much like an artist’s record, which is to say one made as much for the enjoyment of the players as the audience.”
“Since then there’s been a glut of music which has placed expression over commerce, however the band – whose nucleus is Joe Evans and Tom Sharkett but who have now expanded to a five-piece – still see themselves as very much scene-agnostic, both by choice and design.”
“Given how the last two years has played out it would’ve been understandable for the Mancunians to hunker down around an acclaimed chassis that incorporated psychedelia, krautrock and even echoes of their city forefathers The Chameleons, but instead – and deliberately – Evans and co. have changed course.”
