Because Sometimes It's Easier To...

To reach out and feel... something.

Why? - The Vowels, Part 2 (y.s.i)

"Did anyone hear me cry there?
Through a toilet stall divider
I swear I care, raw"

If one feels a bit down, which one often does, Why? are here to try and articulate all these strange and unruly emotions. Well actually, they try to capture various curious emotions that crop up from deep down and their majestically quirky lyrics seem to do just that. From Fatalistic Palmistry's beautiful and breathtaking love story to The Hollows where we follow a darker trip to Berlin, Why? manage to combine a lyrical narrative thought-train into a powerful and perverted in their album from 2008, Alopecia.

Incidentally, a new album recorded at the same time labelled Eskimo Snow will be released this Autumn and should see a supposedly more introspective take on the Alopecia sessions than the word crazy pop we heard last year. The Bay Area trio will hopefully deliver the goods on Anticon's label.
