SHARE NEW SINGLE 'THE FOOL' // LISTEN HERE
ANNOUNCE UK OUTSTORE TOUR & MANCHESTER ALBERT HALL SHOW
WU LYF today 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 the album is presented alongside 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. As part of this, the band will host a worldwide online listening party for members on Easter Sunday (April 5th).
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 now turn to intimate UK outstore shows during release week, in partnership with independent record shops. These lead into a special hometown performance at Manchester’s Albert Hall on June 13th, celebrating 15 years of Go Tell Fire To The Mountain alongside the new album, with both records performed in full, before the band head to North America for their first extensive US and Canadian tour in over a decade.
