It’s been 5 years since Yoni Wolf’s ever-evolving indie band WHY? launched their final album, the visible LP AOKOHIO. Since then, Wolf has lined the Silver Jews and Allen Ginsberg and collaborated with Foxing and Temps. This summer time, WHY? will return with their newest LP, a breakup report referred to as The Properly I Fell Into.
Yoni Wolf and his present WHY? bandmates — Yoni’s brother Josiah Wolf, longtime collaborator Doug McDiarmid, and Fog mastermind Andrew Broder — recorded the LP in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with Sufjan Stevens/Bon Iver collaborator Brian Joseph. It options contributions from individuals like Gia Margaret, Finom’s Macie Stewart, Lala Lala’s Lillie West, Serengeti, and Ada Lea. Lead single “The Letters, And many others.” is a lush reflection on heartbreak. Right here’s what Wolf says about it:
This tune was partially written for a 12 months or two, however the phrases to complete it simply wouldn’t come till some additional life experiences led it into its present incarnation. Although probably crammed with paranoid conjecture, it is usually a tune of acceptance, with solely finest needs upon embarking on a troublesome long-term estrangement. T’ruah. Love and let reside.
