Former WU LYF bassist Tom McClung announces solo debut under the moniker Francis Lung. “A Selfish Man” is the first official single off an 7-inch due on January 16th.
Ever since WU LYF split up in November 2012, all of the members have carried on making music, both together as Los Porcos and with different solo projects. Any WU LYF fan will be excited to see that crucial elements of their sound are still alive in Francis Lung’s music. The first preview “Age Limits” from the Manchester born musician’s new proeject was however revealed already last summer.
Whereas “Age Limits” had a calmer darker sound, “A Selfish Man” is a airy, catchy pop track with smart lyrics. Thanks to the lines “but I don’t wanna know you/ or wanna understand/ I can let you go/ cause I’m a selfish man” the song qualifies as a less rage-filled but rather lighthearted break-up tune. Even without any break-up in sight, this is a pretty sweet track though.
