A press release for avant hip-hop troupe Why?'s new Mumps, etc. LP promised confessional-style lyrics showcasing "mysterious sickness (perhaps of the mind)," and the group drive that point home in the new, therapy session-styled clip for album track "Bitter Thoughts."

Mumps, etc. is out now through Anticon.
