Last year, WU LYF made a comeback after more than a decade. The British band shared their first single in 14 years, \u201cA New Life Is Coming,\u201d and played limited runs of shows in London and their native Manchester. They also pulled their catalog from all major streaming services. Now, Ellery James Roberts & co. are back with another new song. Produced by Sonic Boom, the 11-minute \u201cTib St. Tabernacle\u201d is available to stream on Bandcamp and WU LYF\u2019s website. Listen to it below.<\/p>\n

WU LYF\u2019s only studio album to date, Go Tell Fire to the Mountain<\/em>, came out in 2011. News of the band\u2019s return followed the dissolution of Roberts\u2019 Lost Under Heaven project. In April, they\u2019ll kick off their first North American tour since 2012, with planned stops on both coasts. Scroll down to check out all of WU LYF\u2019s upcoming shows.<\/p>\n
