專輯介紹
cLOUDDEAD 成員之一 why? 在 2008 年發行了一張幾乎是 2000 年後獨立嘻哈必修學分的專輯《Alopecia》，他的音樂一直都沒有明顯的流派界線，在民謠、psychedelic pop、嘻哈與電子音樂間探索，他的詞有著挑釁也有自嘲；這張剛在今年 8 月發行的熱騰騰新作是他的第七張，如果是 2000 年獨立嘻哈廠牌 Aticon 的死忠樂迷，這張專輯絕對能帶回到當時的年代裡。
RIYL: Anticon, TV on the Radio, Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, Modest Mouse. First album in 5 years, following AOKOHIO (Joyful Noise Recordings). Self released on Waterlines, the new record label from Anticon co-founder, Yoni Wolf. Available on “Her Shadow” (Light Greenish coloured vinyl), limited to 1500 copies. For nearly three decades, WHY? have thrived in subverting expectations. Across seven unpredictable and adventurous studio albums, the band led by Cincinnati songwriter Yoni Wolf has stretched the fringes of psychedelic pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. No matter the genre experiments and thematic departures, their discography is remarkably consistent, anchored by Wolf s disarming lyrical transparency. His writing is provocative, self-lacerating, and always considered, coming from a place of blunt emotional openness. The Well I Fell Into, the eighth full-length from WHY?, is Wolf at his most cohesive and poignant. An autopsy of heartbreak, the album charts the ups and downs of a devastating breakup while trading bitterness for healing. Self-released on Waterlines, Wolf s new label that follows in the footsteps of Anticon, the trailblazing artist-run collective he co-founded, its 14 tracks stand as the band s prettiest and most immediate work yet.
