Introduction '''''Eskimo Snow''''' is the third studio album by American band Why?. It was released by Anticon on September 22, 2009.
Production The album was recorded in February 2007.When asked to compare it to his previous albums, Yoni Wolf said: "This record, ''Eskimo Snow'', is really the least hip-hop out of anything I've ever been involved with. I mean, they feel like song-songs with-- I don't want to say a typical verse-chorus structure, but they're song-songs."
Critical reception At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, ''Eskimo Snow'' received an average score of 76% based on 17 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".Marisa Brown of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, calling it "a dynamic, nearly poppy record that finds lead singer Yoni Wolf slightly less verbose and esoteric than in the past." She added, "''Eskimo Snow'' is a success, a resilient album that combines melody, abstract references, and intelligent introspection in equal parts into something that grows more and more compelling the more times it's heard." Josiah Hughes of ''Exclaim!'' said, "''Eskimo Snow'' sees Why? losing some of their previous intensity for quieter, albeit deeply layered, pop structures."
