Cincinnati’s indie rappers WHY?<\/a> are set to release Mumps, etc<\/em>, the follow up to their 2009’s album Eskimo Snow<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mumps, etc<\/em> will hit stores on October 8th in Europe via City Slang<\/a> and a day later in the US via Anticon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The trio’s forthcoming full-length is described by the press release as “a meticulous work of morbid fascination and offbeat romanticism to easily rival the highlights of\u00a0WHY?\u2019s incendiary back catalogue”.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the new album, WHY? released a six-track EP entitled Sod in the Seed<\/em>, a couple of weeks ago. You can stream it in its entirety here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the new release, WHY? have just embarked on a huge North-American and European tour. You can check all the dates here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first taste from Mumps, etc<\/em> is the brilliant opening track\u00a0 ‘Jonathan’s Hope’. Listen to it below.<\/p>\n
