White Lung are back after nearly seven years with the announcement of Premonition, their fifth and, according to the band, final album. It's arriving December 2 on Domino, and alongside the announcement, the trio have shared two monstrous new songs called "Date Night" and "Tomorrow."
According to bandleader Mish Barber-Way, Premonition was inspired by "motherhood, pregnancy and growth." "Date Night" sees Barber-Way on a date with God, 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," Barber-Way said in a statement about the song.
Of the equally pummelling "Tomorrow," Barber-Way said, "'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."
White Lung's last album was 2016's Paradise.
