WU LYF are back. After announcing a new run of tour dates, the Manchester band released their first new song in 13 years, “A New Life Is Coming.”
With a six-minute runtime, “A New Life Is Coming” features WU LYF’s signature ‘00s indie sound, built around a guitar-driven arrangement that swells and recedes beneath a hazy vocal line. The verses simmer with a brooding calm, the mix breathing with a warm, live-room feel, while the choruses burst with the band’s full force, delivering an anthemic punch.
“A New Life Is Coming” is the first release from WU LYF since their breakup in 2012. They shared it in a cryptic fashion, posting it directly on their website with just a play button. You can stream the song there now.
