{"product_id":"why-moh-lhean-vinyl-2017","title":"Why? - Moh Lhean","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe final words sung on the sixth album by Why? are an apt place to begin: \"\"Hold on, what's going on?\"\" Because while there's much familiar about the oddly named Moh Lhean - mastermind Yoni Wolf's sour-sweet croon, his deadpan poet's drawl and ear for stunningly fluid psych-pop-folk-whatever arrangement - a great deal has changed in the four years that've passed since 2012's Mumps, Etc., an LP that honed the band's orchestral precision and self-deprecating swagger to a fine point. It's significant that this is the first fully home-recorded Why? album since the project's 2003 debut. Made mostly in Wolf's studio and co-produced by his brother Josiah, the result is obsessive, of course, but also intimate, and flush with warmth and looseness. But the biggest transformation is a bit subtler. After years of eying his world, in part, with a cynical squint, Wolf here learns a new mode. While Moh Lhean never stoops to outright optimism, it chronicles our hero finding peace in the unknowing, trading the wry smirk for a holy shrug, and looking past corporeal pain for something more cosmic and, rest assured, equally weird.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51620977639719,"sku":"714270690822","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/3557561.jpg?v=1783700492","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/why-moh-lhean-vinyl-2017","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
