Eskimo Snow is the third full-length studio album by American indie rock / alternative hip hop band Why?. It was released on September 22, 2009 by Anticon. When asked to compare it to his previous albums, Yoni Wolf described it as "a bit more wild, and the drums have more room mics. They're more open. The sound is more open, more live ... 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."[2]
