Ok I got this forwarded to me in a blank email, but judging by the artwork that is displayed on Umphrey’s.com, it appears to be the artwork of the new album cover. (Then again this could be different artwork, similar to the Morningwood cover they displayed in FHM or Maxim or Stuff back in January – the release cover was different). The album, Safety In Numbers, is due out on April 4th. Anyways, check it out, it looks nice:
Here’s the album info from the website:
Umphrey’s McGee is proud to announce the release of their third studio album, Safety In Numbers – in stores nationwide on SCI Fidelity Records, April 4, 2006! Produced by UM and their long-time engineer Kevin Browning, and recorded in the band’s hometown of Chicago, Illinois, Safety In Numbers features eleven amazing tracks, including many never-before-heard songs. With special guest musicians Huey Lewis and Joshua Redman, and cover art from renowned album designer Storm Thorgerson (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, etc.), Safety In Numbers represents the next step in the growth of Umphrey’s McGee.
Stay tuned for more information about Safety In Numbers as the release date approaches.
