When it dropped in 2008, Alopecia not only marked WHY?'s evolution from a sonically collaged mostly solo project to a live-recorded powerhouse band of badass multi-instrumentalists. It also minted a genre of one: wryly written, poignantly posed, simultaneously swaggering and heart-rending song-rap that jangles like folk, bursts like psych-rock, and sways like chamber pop. To this day, there is no other group in the known universe that sounds or feels like WHY? does on Alopecia. The album's 2018 reissue cheekily etches that aural likeness into our musical history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Vowels Pt. 2 - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Friday - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese Few Presidents - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hollows - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSong of the Sad Assassin - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGnashville - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFatalist Palmistry - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fall Of Mr. Fifths - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrook \u0026amp;amp; Waxing - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Sky For Shoeing Horses Under - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwenty-Eight - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimeon's Dilemma - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Torpedo Or Crohn's - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExegesis - By Why?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 714270692833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joyful Noise Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.17.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"First City Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48704109674715,"sku":"333465","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/1609\/5451\/files\/3805793.jpg?v=1777329307","url":"https:\/\/firstcityrecordstore.com\/products\/why-alopecia-10-year-anniversary-edition-cd","provider":"First City Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
