Umphrey`s McGee: Tapping into the idea that we were all isolated yet somehow still connected and experiencing the same emotions.

Umphrey’s McGee have a released a new studio album, Asking For A Friend some weeks ago and the band issued Small Strides ( Official audio)

I’m so tired of the run around

Everybody’s all wired to burst

Time lies and it’s never accountable

It all seems too rehearsed

All sides can come around (if you wanted)

Small strides at first (if you want it)

Takes all kinds to get it right (think you got it)

I might be the worst

Does it feel alright leaving no replies

Doesn’t seem too overpriced

Didn’t mean to bite but you’re so uptight

Stuck in between what’s right and what works

Everytime I look at you, al

l I wanna do

Is turn your baby brown eye blue

Everything you gotta say, I’ll take it

If there’s anything you wanna break

Anything you wanna do, believe me when I

Tell you that I want it too

You know that I’ll be alright, everything so well timed

You rea

lly shouldn’t be so surprised

If it’s real then why do any other rules apply

You really couldn’t see a smaller stride

You know that I’ll be alright, everything so well timed

You really shouldn’t be so surprised

If it’s real then why do any other rules apply.

Stuck in between what’s right and what works. The track It`s Not Your Fault,

The Chicago improve crew’s 15th studio record is the follow-up to 2021’s You Walked Up Shaking In Your Boots But You Stood Tall And Left A Raging Bull, and was recorded across three different studios over the last three years. Guitarist and vocalist Brendan Bayliss describes it as «tapping into the idea that we were all isolated yet somehow still connected and experiencing the same emotions».

Adds drummer Kris Myers of the 14-track, «This album reflects how our songwriting has really come a long way since the days of putting Lego together, a term given to explain our past process of assembling the greater sum of the parts in eclectic fashion. Instead, we were able to naturally connect with these songs with our hearts, and a little less from our heads through simple, serene songs».
