Why? - Elephant Eyelash

Why? are a continuation of the tried and tested dark indy-pop meets hip-hop that was previously put down by cLOUDDEAD and their side project Hymie's Basement. With last years full length release "Elephant Eyelash", the former member of the previously mentioned band showed that his ability to mix rather dark and disturbed lyrical pictures with calm and pleasant instrumentation showed no sign of letting up. The tradition of having a single track on each album that clearly stands head and shoulders above the rest of the album also seems to return. cLOUDDEAD's "Ten" had "Dead Dogs Two". Hymie's Basement's self titled release had "21st Century Pop Song" and Why? have released another incredibly graceful yet nervous single in the shape of "Rubber Traits". Whilst it doesn't have the power of past releases defining moments, it's still worth the price of the album on it's own.

Why? - Rubber Traits
Why? - Waterfalls

Buy Elephant Eyelash from Insound.
