Humor Risk is the sixth full-length album by Cass McCombs. It was released on November 8, 2011, just seven months after the release of McCombs' previous album, Wit's End. 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. Humor Risk was just punched out. They're friends but they're different. 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.[5]
