WU LYF share their final single “The Fool” ahead of forthcoming album and North American tour
WU LYF share “The Fool,” the final single before their long-awaited second album A Wave That Will Never Break, released April 10th 2026 via their L Y F community platform. Released aptly on April fool’s day – exactly one year to the day since they announced their return – the track arrives alongside news of a UK outstore tour taking place during album release week.
As with the wider album, “The Fool” is being released through WU LYF’s own L Y F community – a platform the band have built to share their work directly with listeners, outside of traditional streaming models. The L Y F community lives on WORLDUNITE.ORG, where they will be holding an online worldwide listening party on Easter Sunday ahead of the album’s release on April 10th. The site also gives visitors access to journals, early access to tickets, exclusive merchandise, and fan forums – creating a space for the work to be experienced as a whole, not simply encountered in passing. Speaking about the track Ellery writes:
“The fool is one of those special songs that just appeared almost fully formed whilst jamming in the weeks before we went into record with sonic boom. It is a simple, sweet love song that leans into rock ’n’ roll cliché, giving voice to the archetypal holy fool – one who yearns after their lover as a path toward union with the divine.”
The release arrives amid an extended run of live activity around the album. Following a series of European residencies earlier this year — including multi-night stays across Copenhagen, Berlin, Amsterdam and Barcelona — the band depart for North America for their first extensive US and Canadian tour in over a decade. Then, on June 13th, they return home to Manchester, UK for a special performance at Albert Hall celebrating the 15th anniversary of Go Tell Fire To The Mountain at which the band will perform both of their albums in full.
Upcoming Live Dates
06/13 – Manchester, UK @ Albert Hall
