WU LYF’s live show justifies the not inconsiderable hype surrounding the publicity-shy, record label-averse Mancunian four-piece. ‘For all the weirdness, they are clearly fabulous musicians who have created their own sound...The songs are dark, beautiful and ridiculously euphoric,’ The Guardian recently said of their performance.
The self-described proponents of ‘heavy pop’ released their startling first record Go Forth To The Mountain to far-flung adoration in the middle of the year and it is indeed a corker: the explosive mix of organs, echoed percussion, chiming guitar and one of the most distinctive vocalists of recent years combining to rapturous effect.
“Grandly speaking, [singer Ellery Roberts] has perhaps one of the most striking vocal dynamics in music right now” – One Thirty BPM
“Go Tell Fire (Reprise) is a skyward soundtrack blast anchored by the band’s perennially garbled soulful vocals” – Stereogum
Presented by Pedestrian and FBi.
