What you say No-one has reviewed Elephant Eyelash by Why? yet. Give us your opinion on Elephant Eyelash by Why?. What we say This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic. The new CD/LP from Why? is something of a masterpiece. He's a talented kid. Of all the Anticon crew he is the one that's moved the furthest away from the patented avant-hop sound & I'm sure this may have lost him a few fans along the way but it also sets him apart as the guy who will carry on releasing great records once the genre dies out. The criticism that Why? has left hip hop behind to plough a indie/alternative rock furrow is partly true. What he does though is take the best bits from fantastic bands such as Pavement, Guided by Voices and (early) They Might be Giants and matches it to the lyrical twists and turns and  production values learnt through hip hop to create an intoxicating cross pollination. And fuck it above all that he's an amazing songwriter. The songs never hit first time (and in some cases they even annoy) but give it a few listens and the hooks start embedding into your skull and after that there's no going back  - you'll be waking in the middle of the night singing them. There's about 4 or 5 songs on here that are so damn good I could shout it from the rooftops.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
