WHY? release "One Mississippi" from new LP (listen); Eskimeaux opening East Coast dates of tour

why

WHY?‘s new album Moh Lhean will be out March 3 via Joyful Noise and they’ve just released “One Mississippi” from it. It’s a song about not overly dwelling on the dark, with their glitchy production style and some tasteful whistling ultimately giving its initial mournful vibe an uplifting touch. “One Mississippi” premieres in this post and you can stream it, and watch the lyric video for “Proactive Evolution,” below.

Yoni Wolf will be taking WHY? on tour starting in March, including a NYC show at Irving Plaza on April 15 with Eskimeaux. Tickets are still available.

Eskimeaux is on the East Coast dates of WHY?’s tour, with Open Mike Eagle, Dosh and Rituals of Mine on other parts of the tour. They’ve added dates since our last post, too, and all are listed below.
