Manchester synth-rock band W. H. Lung have announced an indefinite hiatus following a celebrated decade together, marking the end of their current chapter with the release of "Where Will You Go?". The band will perform a final farewell concert at Manchester’s historic Albert Hall on November 20.
Written after the group mutually decided to step away from planned future recording commitments, the song unexpectedly evolved into an emotional reflection on their collective journey—from early rehearsal spaces in suburban Manchester to international tours across the UK, Europe, and the United States. Recorded at the Nave with producer Matt Peel, who helmed their earliest breakthrough singles, the track brings the band full circle.
Bandmates have also dedicated the song's forward-looking sentiment to Sonny and Oliver, sons recently born to two members. A limited two-track twelve-inch vinyl edition will be made available exclusively to attendees at the Manchester show.
For fans of Manchester's vibrant guitar and synth traditions, W. H. Lung's parting statement is a heartfelt, dignified celebration of musical fellowship. Browse our indie rock archives for more Northern music coverage.
