CASS MCCOMBS' HUMOR RISK OUT THIS WEEK

The day is finally here! Humor Risk, Cass McCombs' 2nd full-length of this year is out today.

Humor Risk was recorded in various homes and studios in California, New York, New Jersey and Chicago, and was produced by Cass McCombs and Ariel Rechtshaid, with whom he created WIT'S END, and before that, CATACOMBS.

Buy it on CD or LP at your local indie record store, Amazon.com, iTunes (Bonus Track Version) or buy it with WIT'S END at a reduced price through our very own Domino Mart.

Here's what a few people have already said about the new album:

"continuing to build a body of work that few of his generation can match" STEREOGUM

“After his tenderly downcast, early 2011 effort, Wit’s End, Cass McCombs confronts life’s miseries with a smirk and a softly rocking beat on this enjoyable sixth album. . . Suffering rarely has sounded so comforting.” SPIN

'one of America's most unique and affecting songwriters' UNCUT

'an extraordinary display of songwriting prowess... another casually monumental achievement from one of the great singer-songwriters of the day'. Q

“the opening major-key strums are warm and welcoming, immediately setting up what plays out (sonically, at least) as a long sigh of relief, a cruising acoustic motorik” PITCHFORK [Best New Track for 'The Same Thing]
