The label characterizes this music as "deathtronix, " which is about as apt a descriptor as any -- imagine Agoraphobic Nosebleed as remixed by Venetian Snares in consultation with John Zorn, & youll have a pretty good idea of what to expect. To call this music "enjoyable" would be stretching things, but there are definitely interesting & even exhilarating moments: the blessedly brief " Mindgerb" opens things up in shock-&-awe mode, with (possibly synthesized) screaming & a revving-motorcy ...

* Two years after wooing critics with 2005s acclaimed Elephant Eyelash, Why? returns, third album in h&. Why? is the main focus for Yoni Wolf, man behind cult projects Clouddead, Hymies Basement, & Reaching Quiet, who continues his calculated blitzkrieg on that self-made jangle-rap, indie pop n roll genre.* Recently completed separate tours with Yo La Tengo & Islands, played shows supporting the Silver Jews first tour, & appeared at All Tomorrows Parties vs The Fans. ...

* The name Why? once referred to Anticon collective & Clouddead member Yoni Wolf, who released a string of rough-&-ready records that mixed elements of hip-hop & indie rock. Wolf jumped among genres like the older, lo-fi Beck, but with less obvious irony & less of a folk influence.* Now, after six years of treating Why? as a solo project, Wolf has fashioned Why? into a full-fledged b&. Elephant Eyelash is a beautifully realized work, a smile-twisted opus of bright colors, dark cor ...

A year & a half after releasing the acclaimed Alopecia, Why? returns with their fourth album, Eskimo Snow. The two records are perfect foils: while last year’s release delivered intricate rhymes, live loops, slurred hooks, & acerbic wit, Eskimo Snow offers a sung, sobering take on mortality that unfurls in lush waves of Americana & pop-infused psych-folk. Pre-mixed in Nashville by Lambchop’s Mark Nevers (Silver Jews, Bonnie Prince Billy, Calexico) & worked over by Alopecia engineer Eli C ...

Another baffler from the Anticon collective, Whys Oaklandazulasylum has more to do with awkward oddball folk than underground hip-hop, despite the presence of pungent beats on a handful of tracks. If you can get past the clothespin-on-nose delivery -- a cross between Big Bird & the wiry one from They Might Be Giants -- & the constant up-&-down swoops & dives in which its delivered, the album has a certain sense of awkward, ramshackle charm thats frequently unhinged & claustrophobic ...

Why? - Elephant Eyelash

There were some glimmers of articulate clarity and likably wry charm amid the mumblings and meanderings of Whys first full-length, Oaklandazulasylum, but they hardly anticipated the dramatic leap forward into approachability that marked their second. ("Their" because, between the two albums, Why? had mutated from an arty quasi-rap solo project alias to a full-fledged if hardly conventional indie rock band) Though still far from easily digestible, the challenges Elephant Eyelash presents arent
