Not To Reason Why is an American post-rock band hailing from Petaluma, California, which has carved out a niche for itself in the realm of instrumental music. The group's sound is a rich tapestry woven from the threads of atmospheric soundscapes, dynamic crescendos, and a level of emotional intensity that speaks volumes without the presence of lyrics. Their work is characterized by a union of classical instrumentation with modern rock elements, resulting in compositions that are both cinematic and deeply personal.

The band's discography includes the poignant "The Book of Hours," which was released in 2011 and stands as a testament to their mastery of mood and progression. Prior to that, in 2010, they captivated their audience with "Would You Hug Fire?," an EP that further showcased their ability to craft epic musical narratives through a purely instrumental lens. Their debut album, "Who Wants Flowers When They're Dead?" surfaced in 2007, setting the stage for their unique blend of powerful guitar melodies and intricate piano work. While Not To Reason Why may not be a household name, they remain a beloved entity among post-rock enthusiasts and those who find solace in the wordless stories told through their compelling instrumental compositions.
