Surfacing: LUH [New Band]

Words: Saam Das

I never quite got on as much as I'd hoped with Manchester mavericks WU LYF, with their obtuse and carefully crafted aura, but it was still a disappointment when they disbanded. The driving force behind the split was frontman Ellery James Roberts, who returned with the incredible 'Kerou's Lament' in June 2013. He's back again, this time with a helping hand.

Surfacing: Ellery James Roberts [New Artist]

Words: Saam Das

WU LYF always troubled me, what with their shrouded identity marketing tactic and their unpleasant interview demeanour, but I must admit enjoying a selection of their self-styled "heavy pop" tracks. The band seemingly came to a rather abrupt end late last year, with band members emerging in new outfits like Los Porcos over the last few months. None have sufficiently interested me thus far, until now. Listen to the return of frontman Ellery James Roberts below.
