WU LYF – Cave Song
WU LYF, or World United Lucifer Youth Foundation as they would tell you, have done about as good a job at creating buzz as any band in the blogosphere era can do: declining interviews, mysterious press releases/photos, and a general lack of not giving a shit about anything about creating music. And music this is, quite purely: singer Ellery Roberts is of the Jonsi school of vocalists, generally shouting out nonsense in a visceral howl rather than saying anything the average mammal can decipher. But that just places the emphasis on the music on debut album Go Tell Fire to the Mountain, which is powerful and anthemic in the best way. Kind of reminds me a bit of Cymbals Eat Guitars and Titus Andronicus.
