White Lung is back! This winter brings their fifth and final, chaotic, bold and hook-driven album, Premonition. It’s a whirlwind of driving drums, intricate guitar work, and no-holds-barred lyrics about motherhood, pregnancy, and growth. The themes are deeper. The interplay between guitarist Kenneth William and drummer Anne-Marie Vassiliou is more complex, the sound more cohesive. During an unintentional five year hiatus, White Lung managed to grow up without settling down, and the trio has emerged out of its transformative period with raw, feral energy.
On Premonition’s standout track and lead single, “Date Night,” Mish imagines God as a nihilistic bad boy drunk-driving her through a blazing Los Angeles on the way out of town.
“I felt like that part of my life was expiring, so I was projecting those angry and scared feelings out onto the city of L.A. because it’s safe and comfortable to live in your anger instead of being self-reflective.” Mish reveals.
“Tomorrow” – one of the most intricately composed songs in the band’s catalog—balances aching emotional catharsis, circle-pit aggression, and massively hooky melodies.
“‘Tomorrow’ is the song I wrote when I found out I was pregnant. There was a very serious understanding that life would be different forever and I was relieved to welcome that change.” Mish comments.
