White Lung have released their fifth and final album on New Music Friday – stream it right here.
Premonition has been in the works for White Lung since 2017, various unexpected incidences both personal and global delaying things until the record was finally announced a little earlier this year.
Tracks which have been previewing the LP since then include the driving centre-piece If You’re Gone.
“Suicide was in the zeitgeist in many ways when I wrote this song,” Mish Barber-Way said of it. “At the time, a few prominent public figures had killed themselves and they all had children.”
“I was thinking about postpartum depression and how real it can hit. The song is about the emotions of children when their parent is now gone and how they deal with that loss. It also looks at the struggle parents face when life gets so bad one doesn’t see another way but to end it.”
