WHY? Asked to tour with Yo La Tengo
It's been a busy year for WHY?. After releasing critically acclaimed Elephant Eyelash LP, two EPs, touring the entire United States twice on their own and once with Islands, the road calls again-- Why? have been asked to tour with Yo La Tengo this fall! Yo La Tengo is touring in support of their new record, I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass. WHY? have been busy this Summer writing new songs for their upcoming yet-to-be-titled follow up to Elephant Eyelash, which they’re shooting to have out on Anticon Records next Fall.
PRESS ON ELEPHANT EYELASH:
" “Gemini,” “Sanddollars” and “Yo Yo Bye Bye” are likely the three catchiest indie rock songs I’ve heard this year, and there are so many surprising twists in the melodies, time signatures, lyrics and production that I'll keep returning to these songs for months. Elephant Eyelash is a terrific rock record."
-DUSTED MAGAZINE
“We have found the soundtrack to your renaissance psychedelic and dirty, but kilted by bittersweet bent melodies and layers of harmony…Napoleon Dynomite ain’t got nothin’ on this.”
-FILTER
"An indie epic smeared with doubt and guilt that flows out of a forced smile...If this is any indication of the quality of WHY?'s upcoming LP, Elephant Eyelash; we could be in for a classic"
