Mar 20, 2017WHY?’s brand of excess ought to be not abandoned, but embraced.
-
Mar 8, 2017This is not an artist probing some existentialist crisis, but an artist who has reconciled mortality with the act of living and getting on with it.
-
Mar 2, 2017Moh Lhean sounds a little more mature, but only relatively speaking. The project remains a creative burst of sounds, grooves, and stylized observation that's uniquely refreshing to those open to its quirky complexity.
-
Mar 1, 2017Moh Lhean is a stellar album that serves as a portrait of the artist as a not-quite-so-young man who's still finding weird new ways to pose age-old questions.
-
Mar 1, 2017It’s a thought-out piece of work; a collection of collaborating and competing daubs of colour across a blank canvas; a flock of sounds moving together as one, for one simple reason alone: to bring you joy.
-
Mar 1, 2017Keys and pianos prove especially important as seen on John Lennon-esque finale The Barely Blur making WHY?'s latest a dreamier affair, easy and pleasurable enough to get lost in.
-
Mar 7, 2017Artistic restraint is a new concept for WHY? and it’s understandable if Moh Lhean as a whole feels slightly tentative at points.
-
Mar 3, 2017Moh Lhean sounds just as complete as any other WHY? record. This album is the mark of a man who knows where he is in life.
-
Mar 6, 2017For not being as sly or humorous as his past work, Moh Lhean recalls the confident one-two punch of Alopecia and Eskimo Snow, and is just as likely to impact the listeners who felt a special connection to his writing then, nearly a decade ago.
-
Mar 3, 2017WHY? remains an ever-changing experiment. Moh Lhean pays off for the patient listener.
-
UncutMar 1, 2017Recording at home, [lends] Moh Llean its rougher edge. [Apr 2017, p.40]

Mar 1, 2017Why?'s fifth record seems more of a sure-footing; a reminder that this band that at one point was so exciting, is still able to surprise and move you even a decade on from their crowning achievement.
