Humor Risk is the sixth full-length album by Cass McCombs.
In an interview with the Pitchfork website, McCombs said the two albums were made simultaneously.
He explained: "Wit's End was started years ago and it slowly made its way to the finish line.
Wit's End is like a stew; Humor Risk is the raw food diet."
"Robin Egg Blue" was the first single released, on November 28, 2011.
