Description
Umphrey’s McGee has been arranging and performing original mashups live for over eight years. It was only a matter of when, not if, some of those innovative concoctions would find their way into a studio. And that when has arrived.
UM is pleased to announce ZONKEY, an album of 12 unique mashups, conceived, arranged & executed by the band. ZONKEY is as seamless as it bizarre, playful as it is razor sharp. Bits and pieces of classic songs are culled from 40+ years of popular music from 70’s Reggae to 80's Pop to 90’s Metal and everywhere in between. From Radiohead mashed with Beck, The Weeknd with Fleetwood Mac, Talking Heads with Bob Marley, Metallica with Gorillaz….nothing is off limits.
We're pleased to bring you ZONKEY on double 180g LP vinyl! On the vinyl edition, we've included a remastered live mashup from our 2016 Halloween show; "Jumpin' Jack Wedding Party" which mashes up The Rolling Stones + Billy Idol + Eddie Murphy (but of course).
ZONKEY clearly pays homage to some of our favorite artists & songs. While we’ve tried to reproduce the spirit of the original compositions & recordings, we’ve also tried to have some fun with the structure as we’ve often combined seemingly dissimilar musical elements to create a new vibe altogether,” notes keyboardist Joel Cummins.
BONUS: Each vinyl comes with a card containing an mp3 download code. If you would like to upgrade your digital download format, click here after carting the vinyl for format options. The updated pricing will appear in your cart:
FLAC/ALAC - $3.00
HD FLAC/ALAC - $10.00
