WHY? share new songs, announce North American tour

May 29, 2019

Yoni Wolf and WHY? are back with their first new music since 2017’s Moh Lhean, and a joint single with Lala Lala from earlier this year. They’ve shared a video titled “I. I may come out a broken yolk, I may come out on saddle.” that stars Tatiana Maslany of Orphan Black, and is comprised of two new WHY? songs “Apogee” and “Peel Free,” as well as a short sound experiment titled “The Rash.” You can watch the video and listen to the songs below.

WHY? have also just announced a late summer tour that has them out with Anna Burch for a few Midwest dates, and Brooklyn band Barrie for most of the shows. Dates with Barrie include a Brooklyn stop at Warsaw on August 23 and tickets for that show go on sale Friday, May 31 at 10 AM.
