LIMITED EDITION BRIGHT BLUE VINYL
Release Date: 6th May 2016
On their fourth full-length punk heroes White Lung weaponise the hooks they’ve been sharpening over their last couple of releases. But while melody takes a front seat here (and make no mistake these songs are HUGE) Paradise loses none of the band’s trademark intensity.
Where before White Lung were mostly content to just beat the crap out of you here they deceive and disorientate until you don’t know which way is up. Mish Barber-Way soars like a torch singer one moment burbles in a robotic deadpan the next. Not content with simply slashing Kenny’s brain-melting guitars warp and shift and burst into flames. It’s intoxicating.
Paradise is the fierce assured sound of a band doing exactly what they feel like. It’s all the more beautiful for that.
