Spitting It Concrete Like The Golden Sun God

The video for the exhaustingly-titled ‘I Got Dem Wu Wu Teef Busted Spitting It Concrete Like The Golden Sun God’ sees our favourite spotlight-shy Mancunians come over all cinematic in a clip that sees men in uniforms rise from the sea, make island natives bleed in technicolour via the use of some old school truncheons and then get chased back to the waters by those same, somehow unscathed natives. Strange doesn’t even begin to describe it.
As for the song itself, it’s yet another astonishing addition to the Wu Lyf hymnbook. The now ubiquitous gutteral howl that leads the rest of the congregation is still the main focus here, conducting the alt-choir with gut-wrenching emotion. “Spill no blood, spill no blood/Close to God, close to God”, Wu Lyf chant with such powerful urgency that you’d have to be half dead not to get swept up in it all. We still don’t know too much about who the hell this lot are but if that means getting more great stuff like this, then so be it.
