Wu Lyf - Krusty (Papa M Cover) Manchester band cover a beautiful instrumental track by a post-rock legend.
Wu Lyf recently dropped into the studio of Seattle station KEXP and performed Krusty by Papa M, the solo project of David Pajo the multi-instrumentalist who rose to prominence as the guitarist for Slint and has also recorded and played live with Stereolab, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol.
Wu Lyf are often big on the rhetoric but this video sees them strip back the vocals and perform a fine rendition of Pajo’s sweeping and elegant track. The four-piece are also scheduled to go on tour around the UK, Europe and North America in the new year with details below:
