WU LYF have shared details of their second studio album, A Wave That Will Never Break.
The band’s follow-up to 2011’s Go Tell Fire To The Mountain features seven tracks and its announcement comes after they reunited for a series of live shows in 2025. Those gigs were the group’s first in 13 years having split in late 2012.
WU LYF are planning to release the album, which was produced by Spacemen 3’s Sonic Boom, through their L Y F community, according to a press release, and it will not be made available on any major streaming platforms.
In a statement, the band said: “The vision for the L Y F has been with us since the start. Way back in 2010, when we first sold the white on white bandana with the Heavy Pop / Concrete Gold 12-inch, we 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 and the truth; to play our own (infinite) game. Alas, we were young, foolish, and didn’t have the means or the infrastructure for the impulse to reach its full potential. Now 15 years later here we are – the initial version of the L Y F membership platform has been an experimental proof of concept – we have learnt a lot from it over the past year and behind the scenes we have been building Version 2.0.”
To mark the announcement of A Wave That Will Never Break, WU LYF have shared lead track ‘Love Your Fate’, which you can listen to below.
Speaking about the single, the band’s Ellery James Roberts said: “To love one’s fate is to look upon all this – without the fantasy of naïve optimism, nor with the cynicism of bitter despair – but with sober acceptance. Freedom is the choice that begins with surrender, so love your fate. Love this time, this ache, this burning world.”
Lyf Recordings will release A Wave That Will Never Break on 10 April 2026.
