Umphrey’s McGee

Before the release of "Puppet String," which is featured in the studio recording from I.V. Lab Studios, Umphrey's McGee had recently released their album "Similar Skin" on June 10, 2014. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, as it was their first full-length release on their own label, Nothing Too Fancy Music. The choice to self-release allowed them greater creative control and showcased their progressive rock sound. Notably, "Similar Skin" received positive reviews for its blend of genres and sophisticated songwriting, further solidifying their reputation in the jam band scene. The live performance of "Puppet String," with its intricate layers and dynamic arrangements, exemplifies the band's musicianship and ability to blend improvisation with structured elements, which are hallmarks of their style. The recording at I.V. Lab Studios reflects their commitment to high-quality production and innovative approaches within their music.
