Sometymes Why's last CD, Your Heart is a Glorious Machine, was released in March 2009 on Signature Sounds and was produced by José Ayerve. Allmusic gave Your Heart Is a Glorious Machine 3.5/5 stars and a positive review, praising the diverse combinations of genres.[3] Wrote No Depression about the release, the songwriting was "whimsical and honest," while their musicianship was of the "highest quality. Their voices, separately and together, are extraordinary, and lovely."[8] Among various gigs in support of the album, Sometymes Why opened two tours for the Brooklyn progressive bluegrass group Punch Brothers. 2010-14: Recent projectsSince touring in support of their sophomore album in 2009, the members have pursued their individual solo careers while also periodically touring as Sometymes Why.
