WU LYF: "LYF"

WU LYF (or World Unite/Lucifer Youth Foundation) are the latest buzz band from Manchester, England. Not much is known about the band except it is a four-piece, they recorded their debut album Go Tell Fire To The Mountain in a church, the album is self-released on their own label, and that they refuse to do interviews. Aside from this one video and some live footage online, there really isn't much more about the band that is known. The album is strangely familiar and alien at the same time. The music is epic and sparse, lonely and inviting, and something you just can't get out of your head. Not sure if they are for everyone; the kicker is the vocalist, who basically howls rather than sings. But once you get over the shock of it, it is a fairly expressive instrument. They are definitely a band to check out and follow.
