Why Reveals New LP Full Fall Tour Dates

Why? recently returned after a quiet couple of years, bearing the killer single "Sod in the Seed," and new of a forthcoming EP/LP combo. With the Sod in the Seed EP due soon on August 14, they've now turned out details of the LP to follow.

It's called Mumps, etc., and is out October 9 on Anticon. Its kooky cover-art references Pinnochio, and there's a making-of-the-cover video doing the rounds.

More shows have been added to Why?'s hefty upcoming slate of dates; if you live in the continental United States, neurotic Jewish indie-pop-rap will soon, surely, be coming close to your hometown...

Mumps, etc Track List:
1. "Jonathan's Hope"
2. "Strawberries"
3. "Waterlines"
4. "Thirteen on High"
5. "White English"
6. "Danny"
7. "Sod in the Seed"
8. "Distance"
9. "Thirst"
10. "Kevin's Cancer"
11. "Bitter Thoughts"
12. "Paper Hearts"
13. "As a Card"
