Eyebrows raised when Why? were chosen to support the Silver Jews on a 2005 tour, but that seemingly incongruous bill made more sense when considering one of Berman's better lines: "All my favorite singers couldn't sing." Likewise on Alopecia, Yoni Wolf doesn't seem to know he isn't a diva on "Simeon's Dilemma", that he isn't a New Pornographer on "Fatalist Palmistry", or that he's not a grizzled battle-rapper on "The Fall of Mr. Fifths", and he won't let any of it ge t in his way. He's got too much to say to be concerned about it.

Alopecia is the third full-length studio album by American indie artist/band Why?. It was released on March 11, 2008 by anticon. It is the first Why? album that features Mark Erickson and Andrew Broder of Fog. The title to the album is most likely a reference to the multiple mentions of facial hair and the shaving of it off.
