A new album on a new label, The Well I Fell Into is a chance to consider and process the old and – hopefully – move on.

A breakup album of sorts, Why’s eighth finds frontman Yoni Wolf processing the end of a year’s long relationship.

As relationships go, however, Why has been remarkably long lived and fruitful.

After beginning life as a solo act in the mid-90s, Why became a full-fledged group in 2004, whose core remains 20 years later.

i enjoy underground hip hop a lot, & i'm rlly excited 2 share some of my favs ive found recently that really remind me of dave in particular. some r also in there because theyre just cool tho heheh. it's got a variety -- old school, modern, abstract, experimental... just a lot goig on.

i ask that u listen to it in order 🙂 i gave this a rlly deliberate track order heheheh. it has inspired segments.

CONTAINS:

(1-28) a superhero-vibe 2000s hip hop region, got temporal themes. gets kinda hype & intense at parts. starts with a 6-song bang.

(33-41) a doseone/yoni wolf/clouddead segment, experimental & vivid & depressing. cw for death and self harm mentions here.

(42-56) THE DIRKALUDE: aka the splash zone. a slightly more modern & art rap segment, getting reflective, chill&silly (chilly), bit "pretentious". kinda wett.

a primetime early serengeti sample platter

same with open mike eagle. because. i love him.

healthy sprinkling of odd nosdam beats throughout 4 daily vitamins & wellbeing

thank u guys so much for all your sapport & for engaging with me on things like this. i rlly hope any who listen enjoy da playlist & find some new artists u can vibe with 🧡 it's really a passion thing, so thank u to anyone who checks it out

the art is 100% based on serengeti's album dirty flamingo

I love doing posts like these and exploring these symbolic connections because it shows how raw and real the Nakshatras are in our physical reality! As much as I adore analysing personality, emotional patterns, etc; sometimes we don't need complex, university grade psychoanalytic analysis to spot Nakshatras- in fact, I find Nakshatras are best understood through looking at the symbolism that is effortless and natural in our everyday lives. The art people create, the clothes they choose to wear, the imagery & sensations that intuitively come to mind when you think of x person.

I think sometimes when we get lost in the labelling of Nakshatras or anything astrological (Rahuvian), it gets more confusing, when really a lot of the most meaningful gems of knowledge are very simple and visceral (Ketu). Some of the most revered 'words of wisdom', are sayings & symbolic musings that are actually extremely obvious- like kindergarten level- it's just that the hard part is to be a human and not get lost in the madness. To silence the mind.

The language of the esoteric realm is abstract, much like our dreamscape. Sometimes words cannot convey it all- but the symbolism is key. I think any of us who take interest in these topics can vouch for feeling that words & logical analysis come secondary to receiving the symbolic, intuitive information when it comes to anything occult related.

Thankyou for reading as always! <3

do u have any any voice headcanons for karkat or dave bc personally i cant find anyone who fits them :']

(well actually theres broadway karkat but uhhhhhehehe)

my god thank u for asking me this i have such specifik hcs for this ive been kinda wanting 2 share 4 a rlly long time. but i was shy

lmao ive still never listened 2 anything from broadway kk after all this time and i gotta keep it that way....

i kinda have multiple 4 both, that mix together / vary in strenth depending on wat im looking at, but herez a main ones

for dave:

yoni wolf became my main dave hc like,a decade ago at this point. if dave ever legit got into rapping, i think this is what it'd be like persanally. here's one where yoni talks a bit too.

caleb pitts is anothr big one for me, more recent... hes so fuckig funny. this bald man is my heero. "do you like storecore? he's like the most insane storecore rapper right now. he be rappin about the store all the TIME and shit."

for karkat:

i *rly* like the voice they giv him in funk mclovins hsau. sumtimez i just imagine it like this str8 up, just more animated. to me he has a LOT ov range 2 his voice but i love this take sm. its like relaxing 2 listen to. esp with the fuckin amount kk talkz.

also, the voice kawai sprite does a lot on the ugly boy album. i luv it sm. kinda whiny nasally cracky shit. but grouchy. i think the best examplez of wat i mean are "ugly boy" & "girlfriend?". is a bit hard 2 imagine in a normal speeking context tho....

kinda put dan vs and michael roosterteeth in there too sometimes, old school influences... but if u do it too much itz just rlly obnoxious. l0l

again thank u sm.4reel...

[horseforeplay]

it is nuts how bad i fucked up by missing the 2018 Why? tour where they just played Alopecia cover to cover. i was a year out from cracking and was overcompensating BAD for dysphoria and categorized that album as, like, a boy thing. now i do not know that concerts will ever be safe for me again with long covid and the premature lifting of mask mandates making concertgoers and musicians alike sick. will i ever see crohns warrior yoni wolf sing a beautiful & terrible song for me???

https://www.musikblog.de/2024/08/why-the-well-i-fell-into/ Man kann sich durch alle möglichen Genre-Schubladen wühlen und wird WHY? in keiner davon finden. Die Band, angeführt von Sänger Yoni Wolf, hat sich ihre eigene kleine Nische aus Indie-Pop, Indie-Rock und alternativem Hip-Hop geschaffen. Mit ihrem mittlerweile achten Album “The Well I Fell Into” treiben sie diese schräge und exis­ten­zi­a­lis­tische Mischung auf die Spitze. […]

"It's the searching for something clearly unreachable, with hopes of finding small significance along the way. It's the attempt to understand what's really going on by observing, neither by telescope nor microscope, but by naked eye, the intimate details in the most mundane of life's happenings. It's the need to describe the gist of the feeling of the tiniest modicum of The Great Universal Unutterable Joke we are all always not laughing at—except when we are."

WHY? Unveils Lush Ballad "G-dzillah G’dolah" Ahead of New Album The Well I Fell Into

WHY? returns with their latest single, "G-dzillah G’dolah," a minimalist yet lush ballad from their forthcoming album *The Well I Fell Into*, set to release on August 2nd via Waterlines. The track kicks off with a twinkling prepared piano and upright bass, eventually swelling with a stirring string section. Accompanying the single is a Scott Fredette-directed video that captures the band's live show in an immersive and surreal light. Fredette shared that the XR program at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, played a crucial role in creating the thematically relevant content displayed in the video. Yoni Wolf of WHY? delves into the song's meaning, describing it as a moment of doubt amidst doubt. The narrative follows a man on a flight to reunite with his love, feeling small and overwhelmed by the prospect. He has built her up in his mind as a towering monster of affection, a "G-dzillah G’dolah," and despite his assurances to make things right, he feels the past slipping away. The song, spoken from thirty thousand feet up, leaves listeners without resolution, reflecting the man's anxiety and anticipation. "**G’dzillah G’Dolah**" follows the album’s lead single, "The Letters, etc.," which received praise from Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, and Paste, among others. WHY? will support the album with an extensive North American tour, including performances at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom on August 23rd and LA’s Lodge Room on September 14th. *The Well I Fell Into* represents Wolf at his most cohesive and poignant, an autopsy of heartbreak that trades bitterness for healing. Self-released on Waterlines, Wolf's new label, the album's 14 tracks are some of the band's prettiest and most immediate work. Recorded with Brian Joseph at Eau Claire’s Hive Studio, the album features compelling and accessible arrangements that enhance the strong hooks grounding the songs. Wolf enlisted collaborators like Gia Margaret, Macie Stewart of Finom, Lillie West of Lala Lala, Serengeti, and Ada Lea to flesh out the recordings. *The Well I Fell Into* is ultimately a hopeful record, tackling messy emotions with lucid candor and grace. It avoids external villains and wallowing, instead offering a frank dissection of the past and a commitment to moving forward. This album stands near the top of the WHY? catalog as a testament to an artist finding peace. Read the full article

Mega, depressive, all tomorrow's party post

May 8th, 2009

Today, we should be at ATP. BY RIGHTS!! The next three days promise to be a stream of torturous reminders that we’re not.

So, to celebrate the fact that I’m gonna be miserable this weekend while my friends tweet and facebook and blog about how they’re having an incredible time, as I sit LONELY at msn, ABANDONED, here are some stream of consciousness, non-proof read reminisces about the four ATPs that myself and other members of LC! have attended. Plenty of name-dropping because I’m depressed, alright?

MAY 2006 The United Sounds Of ATP. Our first ATP. Phil Elverum with Herman Dune as backing band. Neil and Tom paid for tickets. I got the other…five of our pals “press passes” due to me being a BIG PLAYER in student media at the time. We slept the seven of us in and around a single double bed. John slept with his head in a bin and wore a dress for the weekend, got recognised by Huw Stephens while hitching up his skirt in the . Tom and Neil got their picture taken with Bill Callahan. Immediately accidentally deleted it. Cried. Beth Ditto called me “the cutest thing I’ve ever seen”. Met a really awesome girl, wrote a song about it. Did a conga line whilst watching the Shins. Shared a chalet with a Sheffield Wednesday fan, he was very tall. Two litre bottles of Strongbow. Vodka and slush puppies. Might have met Josie Long. Dancing with Sleater-Kinney to ‘Hot Topic’ by Le Tigre, WHILST WEARING a Bikini Kill t-shirt. 33 at 45. Mascis playing guitar with BSS, and forgetting to mute his pedals whilst tuning up, LOL. Absolutely OWNING the dancefllor for the entire weekend.I kind of peaked here. Pretty certain this was the happiest weekend of my life.

MAY 2007 ATP VS THE FANS The moment, watching Architecture In Helsinki, that, all at once, about 25 blokes in the crowd noticed a bit of one of their songs sounded like the BBC Cricket coverage theme tune, massive grins. Starting the weekend off with The Thermals, meeting loads of people off Drowned In Sound in the front row. Somebody told me Daniel Johnston had missed his flight. I drunkenly announced it to loads of people. Daniel Johnston hadn’t missed his flight. I’m still very sorry. The Notwist being amazing. Got a verse out of this one too. Yoni Wolf and Dose One performing part of Physics Of A Unicycle together. Incredible. Missed Shellac because we watched the frankly FUCKING AWFUL Chelsea v Utd FA Cup final. Asked to do a Los Campesinos! v Mogwai 5-a-side football match. Too scared.

CAN’T FIND ANY PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF THIS ONE!!

MAY 2008 ATP VS PITCHFORK We played this one. Esiotrot/4 or 5 Magicians/Los Campesinos! 5-a-side. Lot of fun. Maybe shouldn’t go to ATP with a girlfriend, makes it a bit rubbisher. Also, don’t jump off the drum kit during your set and sprain your ankle and subsequently have to spend the rest of the weekend on crutches. Except, ATP only had one pair of crutches, and somebody had already taken. In extreme pain for the rest of the weekend. But playing was probably the proudest I’ve ever been. I CROWDSURFED!! Last day of the Premiership season, United win it at Wigan. Found a disposable barbecue with a human turd on it. Times New Viking dedicating a song to us, and hanging out with them all weekend, gettin’ waaaaaaasted man. Saw the guy, who had the crutches, CARRYING THEM, WALKING FINE!!! BASTARD!! Was offered a Zimmer frame.

DECEMBER 2008 NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS: MIKE PATTON/THE MELVINS Didn’t go until Saturday afternoon, because I had a football match Saturday morning. Watched about 3 bands. All very good, thank you very much. Watched about 5 football matches. Everton v Aston Villa was a hell of a game. United beat Fulham. Kept asking for beers with the stress on the wrong cyllables, hilarious. Got drunk and tried to go swimming. It was closed. Got tricked at ‘gay chicken’. Lots of Dance Dance Revolution. Me and Gui started our new band KrabIsland (news on that, never). I could be Teenage Jesus’ drummer.

I’ve been reasonably restrained here. Might add some more in a bit. We’ll be lucky if I don’t bust out crying…

No apologies made.
