Details Emerge About New Umphrey’s Album

While we already knew the name of the new album forthcoming from Umphrey’s McGee (Death By Stereo) and the release date (September 13) thanks to a tweet from the band’s LD Jefferson Waful, a press release issued today about Death By Stereo reveals a few new details.

Umphrey’s McGee – Wellwishers (Live w/ Horns on 12/31/2010)

First off, DBS will be the group’s first release on ATO Records – a record label founded by Dave Matthews, Coran Capshaw Chris Tetzeli and Michael McDonald that features My Morning Jacket, Gomez, the Drive-By Truckers and Dawes among its artists. Also, the press release mentions a few of the tracks that made the cut…

‘Death By Stereo’ finds the “fluid and majestic” (Washington Post Express) sextet’s feet firmly entrenched in hard-hitting rock while still exploring radical new territories: ‘Sticky Fingers’-era Rolling Stones romp on “Wellwishers,” Black Keys-style blues on “Domino Theory,” and horns-infused 70s funk on “Booth Love.” “Conduit” delivers the type of dual-guitar fireworks that Umphrey’s has become known for and “Miami Virtue” is an upbeat, kaleidoscopic blend of Phoenix and Pink Floyd.

While Wellwishers, Booth Love and Conduit have become staples of Umphrey’s repertoire, Domino Theory and Miami Virtue have yet to be performed live. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on future announcements about Death By Stereo such as the full track list and cover art.
