After a flurry of activity since teasing reunion shows last March, the band will release <em>A Wave That Will Never Break<\/em>, produced by Spacemen 3\u2019s Sonic Boom, on April 10. Listen to a new song, \u201cLove Your Fate,\u201d below. The band has also added a European leg to the North American tour announced in April; scroll down for the dates.<\/p>\n<p>The band is planning to release the album through its L Y F community, according to a press release. It will not be available on any of the major streaming services. \u201cThe vision for the L Y F has been with us since the start,\u201d the group wrote in a statement. \u201cWay back in 2010 when we first sold the white on white bandana with the Heavy pop \/ Concrete Gold 12&#8243;\u2014We foresaw a community of like-minds that would gather around the flame of our music, and through whose direct support we could operate with freedom, autonomy &amp; the truth; to play our own (infinite) game\u2014alas we were young, foolish, and didn\u2019t have the means or the infrastructure for the impulse to reach its full potential. Now 15 years later here we are\u2014the initial version of the L Y F membership platform has been an experimental proof of concept\u2014we have learnt a lot from it over the past year and behind the scenes we have been building Version 2.0.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure data-testid=\"IframeEmbed\" class=\"IframeEmbedWrapper-sc-ldQZQl ejqOZZ iframe-embed\">\n<div data-hasconsent=\"true\" data-testid=\"IframeEmbedContainer\" class=\"IframeEmbedContainer-hkaqNE rtPbe\">\n<div class=\"IframeEmbedAspectRatioWrapper-hLozwN etIrxU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><em>A Wave That Will Never Break<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p>01 Love Your Fate<br \/>02 Robe of Glory<br \/>03 Letting Go<br \/>04 The Fool<br \/>05 Tib St. Tabernacle<br \/>06 Wave<br \/>07 At the End of the Day (It Is What It Is)<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-fkZDUs kHRAYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eEeytc eRSvCP asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-zEXFr koTknX responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cIfZLr fHIkTW asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Art Page Text and Drawing\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eNxvmU cfBbTk responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.pitchfork.com\/photos\/699f0c3e4389358e2414621b\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/unnamed%2520(29).jpg\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Wu Lyf:<\/p>\n<p>03-04 Copenhagen, Denmark &#8211; Stengade<br \/>03-05 Copenhagen, Denmark &#8211; Stengade<br \/>03-07 Berlin, Germany &#8211; Lark<br \/>03-08 Berlin, Germany &#8211; Lark<br \/>03-09 Amsterdam, Netherlands &#8211; Cinetol<br \/>03-10 Amsterdam, Netherlands &#8211; Cinetol<br \/>03-12 Paris, France &#8211; Les Inrocks Festival<br \/>03-14 Barcelona, Spain &#8211; Sala Laut<br \/>03-15 Barcelona, Spain &#8211; Sala Laut<br \/>03-24 Brooklyn, NY &#8211; Elsewhere<br \/>03-26 Washington, DC &#8211; Union Stage<br \/>03-28 Boston, MA &#8211; The Sinclair<br \/>03-30 Toronto, Ontario &#8211; Mod Club<br \/>05-02 Chicago, IL &#8211; Lincoln Hall<br \/>05-04 Seattle, WA &#8211; Neumos<br \/>05-05 Portland, OR &#8211; Aladdin<br \/>05-07 San Francisco, CA &#8211; The Independent<br \/>05-08 Los Angeles, CA &#8211; Lodge Room<br \/>05-09 Los Angeles, CA &#8211; Lodge Room<br \/>08-13 Paredes de Coura, Portugal &#8211; Paredes de Coura Festival<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;http:\/\/pitchfork.com\/news\/wu-lyf-announce-new-album-a-wave-that-will-never-break\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/media.pitchfork.com\/photos\/699f02fb13db18bc1815208b\/16:9\/w_1280,c_limit\/Wu-Lyf-new-album.jpg&#8221;] News Wu Lyf Announce New Album A Wave That Will Never Break Listen to \u201cLove Your Fate\u201d from the Sonic Boom-produced follow-up to Go Tell Fire to the Mountain By Jazz Monroe February 25, 2026 Wu Lyf, photo by Anthony Harrison Wu Lyf have announced their second album, 15 years after their [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,54],"class_list":["post-1792377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-pitchfork-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1792377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1792377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1792377\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1792377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1792377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1792377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
