WHY? AOKOHIO
From the classic Alopecia, to their 2017 album Moh Lhean, WHY? has spent nearly two decades traveling the remote sonic terrain where underground hip hop, avant-pop, and psych-rock meet. AOKOHIO is possibly the most autobiographical album in the WHY? catalog. But calling AOKOHIO an "album" is actually a little misleading. Yoni recorded this piece of music as 6 distinct parts, each with their own purpose and identity.
VIP edition is a triple x 10" pacakge, so that each of these 6 "chunks" (as Yoni calls them) can exist as its own distinct entity... each piece of music on its own side of a record. Limited to 1000, in primary colors and bone colored vinyl, check it out right this way…

Tropical Fuck Storm, Braindrops
Full of compelling sounds and visions that reflect the often dark and fractured reality of life on planet Earth as we hurtle toward environmental and social decay at a frighteningly rapid clip, Braindrops is a jarring and exhilarating experience. The new record delivers pulsating grooves, black humor, dissonant experimentation, and unsettling dystopian plot lines—a truly unrelenting work, from an unrelenting musical ensemble.
Braindrops follows their lauded 2018 debut album A Laughing Death In Meatspace.
VIP Version is limited to 500 hand-numbered on cyan/highlighter yellow with pink and swamp-green splatter. Comes with an exclusive RISO art print…

Kishi Bashi Omoiyari
The new album Omoiyari reflects the turbulent socio-political atmosphere of present day America, as viewed through the lens of Japanese-American internment camps in 1940s America. To find inspiration for the album, K visited former prison sites, listened to the stories of survivors, and explored the emotional lives of the innocent Japanese-Americans who were unjustly incarcerated in WWII America.
Stepping away from his past loop-based production model, this is a less overtly-complex version of Kishi Bashi. The focus of Omoiyari is centered squarely on its songs. And these songs are amazing.

Mike Adams At His Honest Weight - There Is No Feeling Better
There Is No Feeling Better, the fourth album from Bloomington, Indiana's Mike Adams at His Honest Weight finds the titular Adams—the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer at the center of the independent pop institution—focused less on who he is and more on where he is.
It’s the kind of record you can make only after really knowing how to make records. It’s ambitious, but never labored sounding, sweeping but always intimate.
VIP edition features limited to 300 hand-numbered copies on black & bone A-side/B-side swirl vinyl, and includes bonus cassette with full album demo versions.
