Hit: 5 Stars
"Safety in Numbers"...the latest release in the Umphrey's McGee catalogue is a perfect bulls-eye shot from the hip studio release. A well constructed fusion of hooks laden with progressive radio friendly riffs from all musicians. A synergistic yet relaxed meeting of ideas, beats, and melody coincide with delicate lead lines from Jake Cinniger (lead) and Brendan Baylis's (vocal and rhythm) arrangements all the while counter-pointed by Andy Farags nothing short of "Rad" auxiliary percussion licks . Umphrey's McGee has once again raised the bar for modern rock listeners and themselves. Considerably more middle of the road and accessible to middle of the roaders with their tracks released on this record, they have this time around interjected a healthy dose of emotion into their songs contents and lyricism. This disk has something to offer for anyone who enjoys Rock, Folk, Progressive, Jazz and or just plain original song craft. Album artwork was completed by Storm Thorgeson famous for such album covers as "Dark Side of the Moon" -enough said. There are guest appearances from Huey Lewis (yes from the News) and Joshua Redman on sax.
There is a warm analog/clean feeling to the entire recording. Vocal harmonies are well accomplished and performed. Brendan Bayliss maintains an energetic and heart-felt detached existential air on upbeat cuts such as "Beleive The Lie" and "Nemo" as he trades verses with pianist Joel Cummings.
There is a cliché phrase in rock music that the drummer and the bassist need to be married. With "Safety in Numbers " seeing the studio debut of Kris Myers on drums and Umphrey's veteran Ryan Stasik on bass, the two work together to lay down a text-book rhythm section on tracks which they appear creating a canvas for the melodies to be painted.
Make it a point to purchase this new release "Safety in Numbers Today" and swing by Umphrey's.com to buy tickets to this bands next proximate performance in your area. No one will not be let down by America's fastest up and coming rock juggernaut-
Umphrey's Mcgee.
Safety in Numbers Poster
We had kind of a crazy year and it all came out on this record, elaborates guitarist and vocalist Jake Cinninger, referring to Umphrey s McGee s third studio offering, Safety In Numbers. We actually went in with the idea of doing an acoustic and an electric album, explains Bayliss, though ultimately the 11 tracks were narrowed down to a mixture of both and shaped into a loose concept piece celebrating life in all of its multi-shades of difficulty and dimension and executed in fully integrated, collaborative style. Believe the Lie was one that was done with our Lego style of song building, explains Cummins. We put together three different parts and made them relate to each other and were able to come up with something as a group. Rocker is a song about the tragic death of their friend Schultz.Pop Music CDs
