Loggerhead

Description

Originally from Brixton in South London, Miles Romans-Hopcraft, aka Wu-Lu, creates music that defies categorization by blending post-punk, hip-hop, trip-hop, grunge, electronic, and experimental rock. His debut album released on the legendary Warp Records, Loggerhead, emerged from long improvisation sessions held with his band between London and Norway, before being shaped into twelve compositions that intertwine urban tension, introspection, and raw energy. Surrounded by artists such as Lex Amor, Léa Sen, Asha Lorenz (Sorry), Mica Levi, and members of black midi, Wu-Lu delivers powerful tracks like South, Times, Blame, and Broken Homes, with lyrics that address gentrification, mental health, and the fractures of contemporary life. Rather than seeking balance among his multiple influences, Loggerhead allows them to clash, resulting in an unpredictable album where shifts in tone and changes in texture become the true guiding thread.
