Umphrey's McGee – It's Not Us (2-LP Vinyl + 7 Inch Vinyl + CD)
Product Details
Umphrey's McGee built their reputation in the trenches of the jam scene, where their ability to pivot from prog-metal precision to funk-laced improvisation on any given night earned them a fiercely devoted following. That live reputation can sometimes overshadow just how strong their songwriting chops are, and *It's Not Us* pushes back on that narrative hard. This deluxe package, with the 7-inch and CD alongside the double LP, is the format a record this dense deserves.
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 Cummins. "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." The album is Umphrey's McGee at it's peak prowess, creating music with both precision and emotional content 20 years into a career. It's Not Us is an expression about it being bigger than individuals, it really isn't about them - but all of us.
