WHY? – GOLDEN TICKETS EP

Announcing…Golden Tickets – the latest EP from WHY? The Wolf brothers’ pop-inflected psychedelic folk-hop was nominally referred to as hip-hop at the beginning of their career. At this point- certainly on Golden Tickets- the project has outgrown any easy genre-categorization. With the musical eclecticism, pop-twist, and experimental bent of artists like the Flaming Lips or Beck, WHY? shimmers on this album in vibraphone stippled, sweetly riffed songs with characteristically gut-wrenching subtext.
