It would appear that indie alternative hip-hoppers WHY? have bitten off a little more than they could chew as far as their 2012 schedule goes, but they seem to have it all under control.
WHY? will be releasing a brand new EP entitled Sod In The Seed on August 14 via Anticon/City Slang followed by a currently untitled full-length; their first since 2009’s Eskimo Snow. As if two releases in one year didn’t overwhelm the group enough, they decided to also take on a massive tour consisting of over 35 dates spanning the United States and moving into Europe. WHY? will be accompanied by Serengeti, Doseone, and a variety of DJs on select dates.
We’ve got all kinds of goodies for you after the break! Stream the title track from Sod In The Seed and check out the EP’s track listing, as well as WHY?’s entire upcoming tour itinerary.
