Yoni Wolf’s indie-sorta-rap-pop project WHY? (formerly his personal moniker while in the wildly independent trance-hop act cLOUDDEAD - now the name of his full band) just released this preview of their upcoming LP. “Jonathan’s Hope” brings WHY?’s sound back to the Alopecia era, mixing cleverly weird tossed-off lines with offbeat rhythms and “pretty” backing music. It’s a bit of a departure from Eskimo Snow, where you found Wolf singing more than dropping stream-of-consciousness rhymes. But it’s still not rap, and it’s not pop, and its not rock either. It’s certainly phenomenal no matter how you classify it.
Seeing these guys in San Fran tomorrow and could not be happier :D
