Umphrey's McGee: January 20, 2012
The Chicago outfit show off their formidable chops while stretching out on tunes from their Death by Stereo release.

Songs from Animal Joy soar in Studio A, between singer Jonathan Meiburg's insights into record-making and singing with his 'non-rock voice.' Listen for references to Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, penguins, and The Falkland Islands. Shearwater - Words and Music - 2012
