Review

Spin (p.106) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Laced with brainy raps, cooing backing vocals, and a keen attention to melancholy melodic detail..."
Uncut (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] woozily layered, beguilingly fractured affair, driven by beats and samples..."
Alternative Press (p.163) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Songs like 'Gnashville' and 'Good Friday' show signs of his roots, with a lyrical structure that's still quite poetic in its flow."
Q (Magazine) (p.141) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[C]hatty, folk-pop hip hop....Contagious songs..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Wolf's sing-speak vocals are arresting, a warped sentimentality seeping through his dark-humoured flow on 'These Few Presidents.'"
Clash (magazine) (p.64) - Ranked #29 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "Neither hip-hop nor indie, nor folk, the band are at odds with convention, but also resonate with an admirable accessibility."
URB (Magazine) (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Embracing verse over his usual metered prose, Wolf deftly distills his stalker stories, suicidal musings and knack for kaleidoscopic detail into taut, fluff-free raps."

Title Note

The difficult-to-categorize outfit Why? put out one of its most cohesive, consistent, and engaging efforts with 2008's ALOPECIA. A staple for the ever-adventurous Anticon label, Why? offers up their usual blend of hip-hop, indie rock, and experimental elements, but also opt for a more organic approach, sacrificing their usual samplers for a live, full-band sound. Yet Why?'s eclectic musical approach keeps things from ever sounding conventional, as does Doseone's inventive, half-sung, half-rapped vocals. Best of all, ALOPECIA has strong tunes, so the band's experimentalism is balanced by accessibility.
