Umphrey's McGee's new studio release, MANTIS, is an exponential evolution in the band's composition, arrangement and group interplay. In an Umphrey's McGee first, the album offers 100% new material; this is a drastic change of pace for a band whose typical modus operandi is to work out the material live on-stage before recording studio versions. Loaded with innovative Push (TM) technology by Digital Insert to deliver exclusive bonus material throughout 2009, MANTIS is already creating plenty of anticipation and chatter among fans and industry alike.
