WHY? and Themselves team up for exclusive MP3 just before dropping new LPs

WHY? is releasing their fourth album Eskimo Snow on September 20th -- with a batch of creatively-overloaded tracks, just as they "roll up" a joint (ha!) with Themselves, a little national love to our Northern neighbors, "Canada" (right click here).

Here's the information on the collaboration: Both groups go back to seminal language and noise UG lords cLOUDDEAD, and has all members of both groups on the track, with vocals from son of book editor and rabbi Yoni Wolf (the main vision of WHY?) and Doseone from Themselves. The latter is dropping CrownsDown after making impressions with its mix tape shenanigans earlier this year.
