VINYL FORMAT. Oaklandazulasylum, Why?'s first official self-produced full-length release, is fourteen lonely art songs recorded over two years time. With sharp focus and visceral lyrics set in decisive production, each song maintains individuality while positioned to fulfill its unique role in the record's sequence. Why?'s rapped and crooned poem parts are a grief-like laugh with the western world, and through the eyeholes of a catchy candy song mask outpour the half-empty honests of a man in moods. The audio equivalent to the slide-show presentation of a clowncar crash, Oaklandazulasylum is dirty drum digital dark folk catered to the raw sensibilities of hip-hop in headphones.
