One of the more indie rock acts on the usually hip-hop-leaning label Anticon, the indefinable
Why? come from the Oakland Bay area. The genre-blending band came to the revered label because of main man Yoni Wolf's college friendship with Anticon artist
Doseone. The enigmatic
Split was their first release for the label in 2002 and was followed a year later by
Oaklandazulasylum. Both the
Sanddollars EP and the full-length
Elephant Eyelash appeared in 2005. The following year the Rubber Traits EP came out, and in 2008 Alopecia hit shelves. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide
