Singer-songwriter Cass McCombs' fifth-and-a-half album, Wit's End, is the result of two years recording in various homes and studios in California, New York, New Jersey and Chicago. The album is full of sounds that conjure the colors purple and black; this is his darkest record to date. Cass is not a man afraid of his own shadow, for in this environment of complete darkness, no shadows can be cast. This is a world of total feeling. Wit's End was produced by Cass with Ariel Rechtshaid; the same duo that created his previous album, Catacombs.
