Song of the Day #9
We are back after a few days off- for various reasons- for another Song of the Day (which may become Song of the Week soon). Today is something a wee bit different, but still indie. WU LYF (pronounced "Woo Life" which stands for World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation) are a mysterious band coming from Manchester in England. They aroused interest and suspicion by not talking to any form of media and barely releaseing any information about the band. Frontman Ellery Roberts sings in a sort of distorted manner, while the music is described as 'heavy pop' which is basically the same as post rock. They have one album under their belt named
Go Tell Fire To The Mountain and they burst out of their mysterious beginnings and into a pool of critical acclaim, receiving much attention from the
lovely people at NME.
Here is the song We Bros which sounds hipster- and to be honest, it kind of is and is along the same lines as Animal Collective. Enjoy!
