The final words sung on the sixth album by WHY? are an apt place to begin: "Hold on, what's going on?" Because
while there's much familiar about the oddly named Moh Lhean-mastermind Yoni Wolf's sour-sweet croon, his
deadpan poet's drawl and ear for stunningly fluid psych-pop-folk-whatever arrangement-a great deal has changed in
the four years that've passed since 2012's Mumps, Etc., an LP that honed the band's orchestral precision and
self-deprecating swagger to a fine point. It's significant that this is the first fully home-recorded WHY? album since
the project's 2003 debut. Made in Wolf's studio and co-produced by his brother Josiah, the result is obsessive, of
course, but also intimate, and flush with warmth and looseness. But the biggest transformation is a bit subtler. After
years of eying his world, in part, with a cynical squint, Wolf here learns a new mode. While Moh Lhean never stoops
to outright optimism, it chronicles our hero finding peace in the unknowing, trading the wry smirk for a holy shrug,
and looking past corporeal pain for something more cosmic and, rest assured, equally weird.
