Why? - TBA

on the new album:

We’ve got lots of outside musicians on this one. It’s extremely composed -- I mean, they were all composed, the WHY? albums. But this one is maybe more so. It’s got violins, violas, cellos, bassoons, clarinets, flutes, French horn, marimbas and vibraphones. It’s got a lot of different sounds on it, and we’re trying to keep it fairly dry and punchy. I think people’ll are gonna like it. I’m very pleased with what we’re coming out of here. We’re trying to make it as clear as possible. The previous records maybe tended to be muddled, psychedelic in a way, washy. I’m trying to make it as clear as possible.

This record, specifically, has a lot of stuff that’s not sung melodically at all that’s just rap. It’s by and large a rap record, I would say.

I'm glad to hear there's plenty of rap-rap-rap-rap-rap-rap-rappin'.

Oh yes indeed!

I just checked there site a few days back to see any news of a new album, as it's been a while. I liked Eskimo Snow, but not as much as Alopecia. Glad to hear there's going to be more rappin' on it.

Eskimo Snow is rubbish.

Looking forward to hearing this, but it'll be a cautious skeptical listen. In fact, I'll probably be thinking "This is rubbish, This is rubbish" the entire album, and won't even hear it properly until a good 7 something months after the albums been out.

I agree with above^ post, glad to hear there's more rapping. Hope it's not totally rubbish : )

i like eskimo snow alot. perhaps not as much as alopecia or elephant eyelash but it had its own vibe

Good news, thanks.

Have to agree with Pigster here, WHY? have been going more and more into the indie/hipster hole with their recent offerings. Eskimo Snow was ok, but nowhere near as good as previous stuff. From the first quote I feel like this will be further in that vein, but we'll see. I'll definitely give it a listen when it drops.
