WU LYF-Go Tell Fire to the Mountain

Wu Lyf, according to their website, is “four dumb kids calling out heavy longings for a place to call home, two brothers greet two brothers and play heavy pop.”  That’s as good a description as any.  No, wait.  No it isn’t.

Manchester, England’s Wu Lyf refuse all press and interviews.  The band is made up of four dudes (who are not brothers), who make frantic, hoarse, frighteningly wonderful indie rock and roll.  They (reportedly) have refused offers from several major labels—of course, that’s their own reporting saying that—choosing instead to continue forth as a mysterious new band with a sound that falls somewhere between Clap Hands Say Yeah and Nirvana.

Oh, and the name?  Stands for World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation.  Got it?

These guys are amazing.

For fans of: Arcade Fire, Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
