‘Strawberry’, Pale Lungs’ latest EP is as driving and ambient as it is harshly melancholy. Each track offers a range of musically diverse layers that drift through themes of change and growth.

Opening song ‘Sanctuaries’ bulges with heaviness, but manages to be both sparse and perfectly soft and melodic in all the right places.

Released last month, just as the band embark on a US tour, the song is the perfect accompaniment to a diverse range of feelings. Beginning with a stirring lightness that leads into an outro raging with the line “one day I won’t need you the way that I need you”, it is a great track from a band who are really finding their sound.
