Sod in the Seed is an EP by American band Why?. It was released by City Slang in Europe on August 13, 2012, and by Anticon in North America on August 14, 2012.[6] A music video was created for the title track.[7]

Critical reception

Ian Cohen of Pitchfork gave the EP a 5.2 out of 10, describing it as "a regression rather than a rightful claim to what's theirs" that "benefits from the sketch-like character of its remaining songs."[4]

Mike Diver of BBC listed it as one of the six best EPs of 2012.[8]
