MP3: Themselves + Why? - Canada

Usually collaborations showcase more of one band than the other without giving a fair 50/50 ratio of the two parties involved. But when the collaborators in both projects are all cut from the same cloth, exceptions are made. Dj's Doseone and Jel who make up Themselves teamed up with label mates and old friends Why? to bring us "Canada." [Doseone was previously in cLOUDEAD with Yoni Wolf. It's this weird complicated Anticon family tree.]

Clearly, there is a huge Why? influence which kind of takes over Themselves, but not to the point where the originators are completely drowned out.

Both bands have new albums coming out before the end of the year.

[MP3] new WHY? - This Blackest Purse

A while ago I heard the news of a brand new Why? album. This morning, Pitchfork premiered a new track. This toned down piano driven Why? song off of the upcoming album Eskimo Snow is our first real glimpse into this September 2009 release. And to tell you the truth, I can not be more excited. Being a huge fan of Why? already, I'm a little biased. But you do have to admit, it's a soft solid song with the always familiar sounding and geeky Yoni Wolf
