We mentioned a few weeks ago that Why? were set to release a new EP and today that is exactly what they have done, free of charge!
Yoni Wolf has to go down as one of the best lyricists in recent years (or all-time) and this EP is no different. The Lynchian mix of the bizarre and the mundane returns, with everyday activities (purchasing eggs in Safeway etc.) interspersed with the horrible (shitting black blood and pulling feathers from a newborn robin), the sad (the ‘first world curse’ of steady hurt) and the downright weird (building a fence with bird bones [from the aforementioned robins] and amethysts). I don’t think they have released a bad piece to date, a record that is well and truly intact with Sod In The Seed.

The new album Mumps, etc is due out on October 8th so the wait for yet more new material from Yoni and Co. is a short one.
