WHY? is a 2000s band, who I really believe was mysteriously transported from the mid-'90s. They do all that '90s stuff like mix rock and hip-hop, and sing and talk, and talk-sing, and who are always hugely deadpan. (Think early Cake or a less ridiculous Bloodhoung Gang.)
On paper, this doesn't sound like something that would appeal to me but I love both the two albums of theirs that I've heard (Alopecia and Eskimo Snow). There are certain moody afternoons where this is exactly the band I want to listen to.
Looks like they've got both a new EP and a new LP coming out this fall. They just released this new single (which, so far, suits me just fine).

You can also check one of my favorite WHY? tunes here - These Few Presidents (YouTube).
Wait, so do you not have their album "Elephant Eyelash"?! That is my favorite of theirs! Let me know if you want it.
