Why?: 26 September 2009 - New York

Yoni Wolf entertained by dancing oddly about the stage and at times speaking to the audience about random things, things which perhaps only Wolf himself fully understood.

Why?: Eskimo Snow

Anticon continues its run of superb 2009 releases with Eskimo Snow, Why?s follow-up to last year's Alopecia.

Why?: Alopecia

If Elephant Eyelash is Why?'s most upbeat work, Alopecia is its evil twin; dark, disillusioned and unrelenting, it serves as the messy breakup to Elephant Eyelash's honeymoon.

Why?: Elephant Eyelash

With so many references to semen, suicide, and jerking off, how could this be anything but one of the best records of the year?"
