Music for you and yours

Why? - Elephant Eyelash (2005) (Anticon)

Elephant Eyelash is the the first studio album by indie hip hop group Why?. I haven’t really been following Why? much anymore, but I’ve always liked this album no matter how much time goes by. Elephant Eyelash isn’t mind blowing or anything, but it definitely has its moments. Why? blends indie rock and hip hop so nicely, particularly on this album, it immediately made me a fan. This is one of the few records that can make me feel like I’m listening to classic hip hop on one song and Modest Mouse on the next. Not only is the vibe of the music on point, but lead singer/rapper, Yoni Wolf’s lyrics are just as sweet to the ear. As I revisit this album, you should too! You can hear one of my favorite songs from high school, and favorite song on Elephant Eyelash called “Crushed Bones” at the top of this post.
