Limited Edition Summer Camp Music Festival 2018 Release. "It’s You" is the surprise follow up companion album to "It’s Not Us" (released January 12th, 2018). Recorded in the same studio session as "It’s Not Us", the album contains 10 tunes that have never been recorded, 7 of which are brand new, never performed live by Umphrey's McGee.
Prog-influenced jam band champions Umphrey's McGee sought a return to unadulterated rock & roll for eighth album Similar Skin, and first to be released on the band's own imprint Nothing Too Fancy Music; it's also their first effort since 2011's Death by Stereo. While still entrenched in the wandering spirit of jam band improvisation, the 11 songs lean heavily on the influence of '80s pop, rock, and even radio metal, with tunes like album-opener "The Linear" calling to mind the epic polyrhythms of Rush and the epic soloing of the late-'80s Hollywood hair metal scene. The rock assault is tempered with the occasional low-key number, such as the bouncy, pop-minded "No Diablo."
The volume of chatter grows, the temperature rises, and the buzz in the room grows palpable. A flicker, then darkness as the house lights descend . . . the anticipation, the excitement that you’re about to experience something unknown, together…
