Two years after this phenomenal long player LOGGERHEAD on Warp, South London prodigy Wu-Lu is back with the vinyl edition of his recent EP Learning To Swim On Empty. Described by The Quietus as "a record that holds both listener and artist close", these songs delve into highly personal territory, with stunning results. - Flying Out
Learning To Swim On Empty is the new EP from South Londoner Wu-Lu. It is his first new material since his 2022 breakthrough debut album, LOGGERHEAD. Released digitally back in May 2024, the vinyl edition includes two previously unreleased tracks: Last Night With You (Instrumental) and Crow’s Nest (Instrumental). The EP finds the vocalist and musician diving deeper than ever before, surfacing with some of his most heartfelt, intimate songs yet, and broadening his sonic palette in the process. The record plays like a series of diary entries, inspired by growing up in Brixton, death and grief, rebirth, and the sink-or-swim feeling that comes with being thrown in at the deep end.
