'Modern maximalist psychedelia at it's best' 4/5 THE GUARDIAN

“'New Order's synthesised throb and plaintive touch with The Stone Roses' guitar pantones and blissful aura' W.H Lung – 4/5 MOJO - Album Review - May 2019  

'A quite exceptional slab of psychedelic indie' 5/5 NARC

"One of the UK’s most exciting bands; a heady rush of post punk, synth pop, Joy Division, New Order, 70s Berlin, LCD. Rarely has a band justified their buzz so beautifully." 4/5 Q

“This is stunning work...shares similarities with Future Islands, The War On Drugs and Anohni' ” 9/10 Loud & Quiet

"Superb debut" 8/10 Uncut -

'a sweet midpoint between Hookworms, LCD Soundsystem and Giorgio Moroder' THE OBSERVER

'The Neu! and Can resonances are deployed with precison and power' 4/5
FINANCIAL TIMES

“the synths and electronics radiate and hum with a golden aura, and the vocals weave between tender delivery and forceful eruptions. There is a palpable energy to the songs, as experienced in 10 glorious minutes of opening statement "Simpatico People." The sound switches between shimmering synth-pop and the infectious grooves of '70s Berlin. “ XLR8R

W. H. Lung have allowed this album to naturally gestate over the course of two years . The result is a remarkably considered debut - the production is crisp and pristine but not over-polished, the synths and electronics radiate and hum with a golden aura and the vocals weave between tender delivery and forceful eruptions. There is a palpable energy to the songs, as experienced in 10 glorious minutes of opening statement 'Simpatico People'.
“I think it’s important to erase the distinction between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture,” states Joseph E. This colliding of worlds not only exists in the potent mix between whip-smart arrangements, lyrics and seamlessly danceable music but also in the fact that they are named after a cash and carry in Manchester. As Tom P. explains, “I thought it was funny juxtaposing those kind of austere associations with W. H. Auden and other initialed poets, writers, artists, etc. with the fact that it’s really just a Chinese supermarket.”
