"These Few Presidents" (Live at Dublab)

Video: Why?: "These Few Presidents" (Live at Dublab)

A nice live sesson from Why? on Dublab. In his review of Alopecia, Pitchfork's Jason Crock described this song thusly: "'These Few Presidents' is stiff indie rock, with drum-machines and the polite blurt of an organ, until the bottom drops out and cascades of clattering percussion and yawning low frequencies soundtrack the most sincere Hallmark card ever: 'Even though I haven't seen you in years, yours is a funeral I'd fly to from anywhere.'"
