W. H. Lung, the distinctive Manchester synthpop band, known for their debut album Vanities, is gearing up to release their new album Every Inch Of Earth Pulsates. Their recent track, “The Painting Of The Bay,” follows their first single “How To Walk” that reflected a heavier rock influence rather than traditional synthpop vibes.
“The Painting Of The Bay” showcases the band’s inclination towards guitar-fuzz rather than keyboard sounds, resulting in a purposeful and dynamic track. The inspiration behind the song was Joseph Evans’ experience at a gallery, particularly influenced by his reaction, or lack thereof, to a Cezanne painting. Evans explains his creative process:
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.
Explore the track below and anticipate the release of Every Inch Of Earth Pulsates on 10/18 through Melodic.
