Mysterious Mancunians WU LYF are already hoping to get back in the studio to work on new material despite releasing their debut album just five months ago, according to frontman Ellery Roberts.
Their first LP ‘Go Tell Fire to the Mountain’ hit shelves in June, but, after touring the UK throughout October, they’ve decided to get back into writing mode and have already began considering what new directions and paths to follow with their new stuff.
“We have a bunch of new songs and a specific direction where we're taking it,” Roberts told Stereogum. “I guess we've maybe thought about it and talked about it more than we've actually spent time creating new stuff... since we’ve been travelling a lot. It’s surprising that, while touring, just sitting around can still take a lot out of you. It’s hard to be creative.
“Still, we are working through some new songs. We are also collaborating on a film with this French guy and putting that out in the near future. I can’t say too much about it yet. I suppose we’re always thinking about new stuff, we just haven’t had much of a chance since the record took off.”
He continued: “Now, having toured with those songs for a while, you really want to progress, to grow as musicians and songwriters. It's not so much about other people's expectations, but about us really craving something new. We are eager for that.”
