While the songs themselves are sonically all very different, ranging from guitar chugging (track 1) to minimalistic instrumentation with a focus on vocals (track 8), the album is tied together by McCombs\u2019 lyricism, which can be considered both confounding and profound. The songs are accessible but I don\u2019t think anyone will ever understand the true meaning behind the lyrics, if there are any. It\u2019s part of the appeal of Cass McCombs in general; the air of mystery is intriguing and so is \u201cHumor Risk\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reviewed by:<\/strong> Brendan Higginbottom on November 19th, 2011<\/p>\n<p><strong>RIYL:<\/strong> The War On Drugs, Youth Lagoon<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Tracks:<\/strong> 1, 6, 7 and 8<\/p>\n<p><strong>FCC Warning:<\/strong> None<\/p>\n<p><strong>Label:<\/strong> Domino Recording Company<\/p>\n<p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> November 7th, 2011<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uniformly unruly and undoubtedly uwesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":5406,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3230,181],"tags":[340,505],"class_list":["post-5405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-brendan-higginbottom","tag-cass-mccombs"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/614u9X+C0vL._SL500_AA300_.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
