Apparently, I missed out on the mythology of WU LYF. A band that unveils little information about themselves, they released one highly regarded album in 2011—perhaps the height of my music discovery phase when I could have found them—they apparently disappeared for a decade and a half before returning now with a new record. I didn’t know any of this until last week, but the story was intriguing enough for me to go digging. I have to say, I haven’t heard a song from this band yet that I haven’t liked, including this newest release. Comfortably in my favorites of the first half of the year, this album is incredibly well put-together. Being only seven tracks, it seems slight, but each song is put together so immaculately in a way that feels sprawling. I look forward to returning to it all year, especially in different seasons.
