Umphrey's Mcgee - Mantis



The following is taken from the synopsis for the film "Man On the Moon."

"At the beginning, Kaufman's foreign man comes on saying it is the end of the movie and plays a record alongside the credits before walking off. Kaufman then comes back on in his normal voice saying he "Had to get rid of the people who don't understand me, and don't want to try". He then proceeds to show the actual movie on a film projector starting with his childhood home, c.1957."

Two dirty words: progressive rock.

I could ramble on about how expansive and brilliant this album is.
But, really, if you're down with the aforementioned genre, you're going to judge it with your own ears.
Aaaand if you're not, you'll judge me with your own special brand of incorrect thought.

Listen to it, and if you like it, hit up a live show or buy the record.
