Release Notes:
The mysterious Manchester, England group Wu Lyf (pronounced ôwoo life,ö short
for World Unite! Lucifer Youth Foundation) shrouded itself with secrecy. The
members went by aliases such as Lung and Elle Jaie, and the bandÆs Wikipedia
page was deleted several times. However, Wu Lyf's music was unmistakable, an
impassioned yet eerie style they dubbed ôheavy popö that recalled Modest Mouse's
jittery rhythms and the Arcade Fire's anthemic soar. The band was the brainchild
of vocalist/keyboardist Elle Jaie (Ellery Roberts) and bassist Lung (Tom
McClung), childhood friends who reunited in 2006 and began making music
together. With the addition of guitarist Evanse (Evans Kati) and drummer Jeau
(Joe Manning), the group became Wu Lyf over the course of 2007 and 2008, forging
a mix of rattling rock and religious and political iconography. The band posted
their early recordings on their website, drawing interest from the U.K. music
industry that they largely rebuffed. Early in 2010, Wu Lyf played a monthly
residency at the An Outlet coffeehouse. The venue was owned by advertising
agency four23, which was founded by Warren Bramley, who became the bandÆs
manager; previously, Bramley worked with Tony Wilson at Factory Records, and at
Factory Too in the æ90s. In July 2010, the band formed the Lucifer Youth
Foundation and gave bandit masks and the debut single Concrete Gold/Heavy Pop to
its members. That November, Wu Lyf took to a deserted church to record their
debut album Go Tell Fire to the Mountain, which they self-released in June 2011.
