Umphrey's McGee - London Session

Release Date:04/07/2015;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release from the prog/jam rockers. Fresh off the heels of Similar Skin, Umphrey's McGee dove head first into the famed Abbey Road Studios, tracking a staggering 10 songs in one day. This is the explosive results of that marathon recording session. A measured mix of arrangements familiar and new, you'll find ferociously tight tracks alongside ear-worm acoustic numbers, infused by the ghosts of a studio frozen in time. Umphrey's McGee’s music is often referred to as "progressive improvisation", or "improg". Although the band is part of the jam band scene, like Phish and the Grateful Dead, they are much more influenced musically by Progressive Rock artists such as King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd,Frank Zappa, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, and early Genesis, as well as Heavy Metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Guns N' Roses.
