Mistletone proudly presents WHY? on their first Australian tour.
WHY? is a group of handsome Cincinnati-born men led by singer Yoni Wolf, formerly of seminal pop-inflected psychedelic folk-hop outfit cLOUDDEAD. Evolving into WHY?, Yoni honed his trademark delivery – a sickly sweet, half-rapped, singsong style – shined up his wry, picturesque poetry and developed a clip-and-collage aesthetic using keyboards, toys, guitars, samplers and anything worth banging on.
WHY?’s brand new album Eskimo Snow (out now on Anticon/Stomp) is a companion piece to last year’s celebrated Alopecia LP: a sung, sobering take on mortality that unfurls in lush waves of Americana and pop-infused psych-folk. On their maiden Australian voyage WHY? will perform in full five piece glory.
