After Not the Way, his first mini-album, he released A in 2004 to critical
acclaim. Often serious in tone, his songs show a real capacity for songwriting.
PREfection in 2005 remains personal, but is more pop-oriented. In 2009, he
released Catacombs, again with a nostalgic edge. Prolix in 2011, Cass McCombs
releases Wit's End in April and Humor Risk in November, without really shaking
things up.
