WU LYF are again. A month after frontperson Ellery James Roberts dissolved his Lost Under Heaven project, the band that propelled him to indie-rock renown has introduced three reveals in its native Manchester, England, and competition dates in France and Belgium. No concrete particulars have been introduced, however followers on Reddit report receiving postcards that time to the website containing the dates. And, at this time, an Instagram account attributed to the band’s L Y F Recordings label posted a number of teaser Tales and a photo carousel of billboards emblazoned with the slogan, “A brand new life is coming.”
These will likely be WU LYF’s first reveals in 13 years, following the tour that accompanied their solely album so far, Go Tell Fire to the Mountain. The band split in late 2012, with Roberts declaring in a prolonged assertion, “WU LYF is lifeless to me. The sincerity of ‘Go inform hearth’ was misplaced within the bull shit of sustaining face on the planet we stay. Clap your fingers chimp all people’s watching.”
