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.

Ed's Note: Are WU LYF Dead? Or Just Annoying?

Words: Saam Das

I never really bought into the mystery bollocks that WU LYF spread like a particularly vicious STD throughout their early career. But in all fairness, they did provide a fairly unique and inspiring brand of music - their self-proclaimed "heavy pop". A new song 'Triumph' (or 'T R I U M P H', if you want to be a prat) has just appeared, with an ominous accompanying text. Is this the end of WU LYF or are they just arsing about as usual?
