What’s On Michael Portillo’s iPod: W. H. Lung

Here at Birthday Cake For Breakfast, we like to get to the heart of what an artist is all about. We feel that what influences them is just as important as the music they make. With that in mind, ahead of releasing their new album ‘Every Inch of Earth Pulsates‘ (via Melodic Records), vocalist Joseph Evans of local Manchester lot W. H. Lung talk us through a number of influences. Take it…

Segundo dia de Super Bock Em Stock’22. Enola Gay, Algumacena, The Clockworks, Sudan Archives e W.H. Lung foram Reis

No segundo dia de Super Bock Em Stock’22, para além das graças que demos a quem manda na meteorologia (este ano não nos mandou chuva), tivemos também mais diversidade e quantidade de concertos com maior interesse. Continuamos a tender para as bandas que passam pelo Rossio, mas também as que passam nas salas mais pequenas do São Jorge, ou mesmo na Garagem Epal, onde a proximidade com o artista faz…

-> TEASER: WHY DOES EVIL WEAR A FACE SO FAMILIAR?

synopsis: you and logan were taken by the federation years ago.

word count: ~550

ships: Keegan Russ/Reader, Ghosts team & Reader

notes: just a quick thing to establish relationships and to see if anyone is interested because i want a ghosts sequel. so i figured i might as well write it. please lmk if you're interested <3! i'd love to talk to people about this lololol

Elias lied.

Elias was a lot of things – a husband, a father, a captain. But above all things else, he was a fucking liar. 

He parroted stories of the Federation not forcing people out of Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Dallas, and every town in between, but butchering them. Slaughtering everyone who wasn’t fast enough to get away. The elderly, the ill, children, those who stopped to help the wounded. It made no difference to them – age, race, military or civilian or someone wearing a red cross. Every American in the vicinity was shot, stabbed, or bludgeoned to death. Each soldier in the Federation had one unifying trait – that none of them could be reasoned with. They were relentless in their pursuit of slaughter.

Living in willful ignorance is an ugly thing. But you have been enlightened. Through what Elias called “poisons and tortures” of the flesh, mind, and soul, you have seen the truth – as has Logan.

The day you both were rebirthed was a blessing. You were both made siblings in arms, codependent but thriving by each other’s sides. 

Your eyes were opened – the Federation isn’t the USSR’s second coming, but something better. Something revised and edited and molded to be superior in both technology and execution. The leaders of the USSR were selfish men who got off to the idea of hoarding wealth under the guise of communism. The Federation is too cutthroat for the slightest shift outside of the status quo. Moles and double agents aren’t tolerated. The bloodstains on the bullet traps on the firing ranges are evidence enough.

Of course, Keegan doesn’t know this. Because where you are fighting for a righteous cause, he is a threat to the precious collective. 

You don’t love him. Not anymore.

When you and Logan were dragged away on that beach, the world turned dull for both Keegan and Hesh. 

Hesh felt the grief for his brother in a full-bodied ache – something that tore at his heart and collapsed his lungs. Rorke took every single person that was left of his family. His world became The Fire That Consumes My Brother by Thích Nhất Hạnh. He hoped that the torch of Logan’s body burned bright enough to be seen through the denseness of South American jungles. 

He silently begged in the rain, praying that Logan could hear him. With every clap of thunder, he heard something that sounded like Logan’s raspy, barely-used voice crying for help. And Hesh sat, and he listened. The rain hid his tears well enough, anyway. 

For Keegan, it was a dull hurt. Something that permeated every thought and action in his life. His world became Funeral Blues by W.H. Auden. Keegan didn’t want anything to do with a world that didn’t have you in it. Even though there wasn’t a funeral, as both you and Logan were marked as MIA, Keegan still felt as though he was the only pallbearer, shouldering the weight of your coffin by himself. 

The world was no longer beautiful with this unrelenting shadow over him. The stars weren’t as bright, the moon wasn’t as wonderful, the sunshine wasn’t as nice and warm as it once was. You were his North, his South, his East, his West – his noon, his midnight, his every hour in between. But cardinal directions don’t have as much meaning anymore, and neither does time.

Keegan thought love would last forever. Keegan was wrong.

Plus too many Little Croquettes jam sessions to count. I went to many of these with @lessjokes and a few with @lizzylizzylizzy. NOFX with @vicwomg was the most memorable since we got to be on stage with the band the whole time. Taylor was the best though, followed by Annabelle Chairlegs and Ruth Radelet and Agar Agar (all of which were part of the Psyched Radio festival, can't wait for next year), and also all the Curling shows were a blast, especially the one with Plash. (Check all of them out if you haven't already!)

Gold in These Hills.

7:50 a.m. Today is going to be 'comfort Monday'. Nothing but Amy Shark, W.H. Lung, followed by A Silent Voice in the background until I go home... Then maybe do it all over again?

10:07 a.m. Just received an e-mail that says property management is doing a full window replacement all week in my office, so I'll need to work from home. The universe literally nudging me to finish my fic and then me, all too eager to take the bait:

W.H. Lung - Vanities

W.H. Lung – Vanities

W.H. Lung es una banda de Manchester que, a pesar de contar con una carrera relativamente corta, han decidido no quedarse estancados en un sonido en concreto. El joven grupo británico debutó en 2019 con un álbum en el que, aunque había algo de electrónica, predominaban las guitarras y el rock. Pero ahora sorprenden con un cambio de tercio en su segundo trabajo, el cual está mas cerca del…

Release Rundown – Courtney Barnett, Delta Sleep and W. H. Lung

Words: Ben Forrester Courtney Barnett – Things Take Time, Take Time(Marathon Artists) Following the tour of 2018’s brilliant ‘Tell Me How You Really Feel’, Courtney Barnett was exhausted. Touring an album that vented a lot of anger and frustration lead to Courtney needing some time out. It’s this step back that helped lay the foundations for album three. Recorded with long serving collaborator…
