Alopecia just makes you more aerodynamic
Super-fantastic news this week, soldiers — Why? is getting set to release another album.
You can stop cheering now.
Yoni Wolf and his band of un-merry men have “just finished up” work on their next piece of genius, titled Eskimo Snow. Wolf told thee Fork this week that the album, which was recorded mostly in tandem with last year’s irreproachable Alopecia, should be out by year’s end on Anticon. He reveals it was actually the album he’d intended to release first, although that decision was obviously reversed at some point in order to facilitate a timeline for the “character” the records center around that made sense.
Which is all well and good, but I really don’t give a damn if its a two-part concept album or a didactic song-cycle designed to explain the electoral college. The stuff he makes just sounds so good.
Wolf also admits that the album will continue to foster his more rock-centric tendencies, moving away from the “art rap” he practiced over the band’s first few releases. I’m okay with that as well; as I stated previously, the prettier he makes his songs sound the more I like them.
Do yourself a favour and head over to Anticon, the band’s label, and pick up whatever they have available.
