Now that the Coachella line up has finally been announced this week, we think that you should familiarize yourself more with some of the names that are sitting on the bottom rows. Because while the headliners are great there is a lot more to discover.
Wu Lyf generated a lot of buzz last year after the release of their debut album “Go Tell Fire To The Mountain” and when they came to town selling out two Los Angeles shows. The Manchester based band have also been known to avoid press interviews, leave cryptic messages online and even allegedly snubbed Michel Gondry when he tried to contact them (who does that?). More importantly the music should and does speak for itself, so take a listen before anyone labels it as just “hype”. Their album received plenty of positive recognition online in the blog world, most calling it one of the best of 2011. The best way that I can describe this band is a cross between HEALTH and early Modest Mouse. The vocals are a bit unconventional and at times I find myself wondering what the hell he just said as the the lead singer grunts through a song.
Take a listen to “Lyf” above and get ready to see Wu Lyf when they perform at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival on Friday, April 13th and 20th.Tickets go on sale tomorrow Friday, January 13th at 10am PST through the Coachella website.
