SOME STUFFS: Why? have a case of the “Mumps” with new album
Mumps, etc. (Anticon/City Slang) is the name of the forthcoming album by Why?, who will release this new set of music on October 9th (European audiences get it the day before), and what you see above is the final version of the cover. As a preview, they’ll be releasing a 6-song EP called Sod in the Seed which will feature a few songs from the album plus tracks they didn’t feel like putting on there. What they did put on there and the album is “Sod In The Seed”, which you can not only listen to, but download for free, as posted a month ago. Too lazy to click that link? Fear not, it’s here too.
On top of new music, Why? will start a new tour beginning at the end of August and stay on the road until November. Check out where they’ll be.
