WHY? today announced their eighth full-length album The Well I Fell Into will be released on August 2nd, 2024. The beloved band—led by Cincinnati songwriter Yoni Wolf—has also shared the soaring, diaristic first single ‘The Letters, Etc.’
“This song was partially written for a year or two but the words to finish it just wouldn’t come until some further life experiences led it into its current incarnation,” explains Wolf. “Though potentially filled with paranoid conjecture, it is also a song of acceptance, with only best wishes upon embarking on a difficult long-term estrangement. T’ruah. Love and let live.” The Well I Fell Into is Wolf at his most cohesive and poignant: an autopsy of heartbreak, the album charts the ups and downs of a devastating breakup while trading bitterness for healing. Self-released on Waterlines, his new label that follows in the footsteps of Anticon—the trailblazing artist-run collective he co-founded—its 14 tracks stand as the band’s prettiest and most immediate work yet. This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
