For me, autumn always rouses an acute craving for indie music, so this morning I went scavenging and found WU LYF. I was kind of hoping they were somehow relevant to Wu Tang, but alas, they're just a bunch of hipsters out of Manchester. I'm not just calling them hipsters because of their music (though that could definitely warrant the label), but because, well... Here's what their Wiki page says:

WU LYF (pronounced "Woo Life", stands for "World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation") are a band from Manchester, England that originally became known for creating a mystery about themselves by declining requests for interviews and not releasing much information to the press. The band describes their music as "heavy pop".

The "World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation" recorded this album in an abandoned church; they say it's because they "didn't like the studio acoustics," but I believe they did it to be ironic, and everyone knows that to be ironic is to be a hipster. Additionally, they made a solid point of being mysterious (via "carefully designed anonymity," according to The New York Observer), AND they're trying to coin their own genre. Hip! Hip!

Hipster accusations aside, this album is fucking great. Instrumentally, this reminds me of a poppier, more melodic Battles. The vocals are really different (I think) and overall, the abandoned church thing works really well for them. I bet seeing them live would be fucking phenomenal, and given the opportunity to see them, I'd probably be hoarse for at least a week following. Highly recommend this one.

Get it.
