WU LYF are back with their first new song in 12 years, ‘A New Life is Coming’

WU LYF have announced their return with new single ‘A New Life is Coming’, marking their first new material in twelve years.

The Manchester band have recorded the track at Low Four Studios, with production from Tom McClung and the band themselves, alongside additional production and mixing from Brendan Williams.

In a statement announcing their return, the band reflect on their reformation: “WU LYF was always better left unspoken, experienced rather than discussed. Words killed it. You just had to feel it. Twelve years after the fire burnt out, life had pulled us apart. We all had walked our separate paths trying to escape the shadow cast by the brief spectacle of our youth.”

They continue: “We set up camp in the loft of a friend’s book shop behind unfamiliar instruments, familiar emotions and we began to play, tentative at first but with open hearts & minds, seeking new forms unchained from what had been before. Old friends with familiar tree by our hands know what our minds forgot. This is something that was always there, waiting for us to remember.”

The new single features Ellery Roberts on vocals, organ, sub bass and piano, Joseph Manning on drums and organ, Evans Kati on guitar and feedback, and Tom McClung providing vocals, guitar and bass.
