Umphrey's McGee - It's Not Us CD
Umphrey's McGee entered I.V. Labs Studio in Chicago in November of 2016 to record what would become the band's eleventh full-length studio album. The result was it's not us, the most vibrant, mature expression of the band's growing studio prowess to date. "We decided to go in for a week, live, eat, and breathe Umphrey's McGee," recalls Joel, "we're known as a strong live band, but we take so much pride in our writing. [In this album] the focus is on that writing."
it's not us is Umphrey's McGee at its peak prowess, creating music with both precision and emotional content 20 years into a career. "We're not going anywhere," says Brendan Bayliss. "We're starting to find our identity. I think if you give it a chance, you'll be pleasantly surprised."
