Umphrey's McGee Podcast

In the series finale, we dive into the track “It's Not Your Fault,” a song that Brendan Bayliss thought might not be on the album at all. The discussion of this song leads to a conversation about Neil Young and his influence on Bayliss.

Welcome back to Talking Circles - a production of Osiris Media and Umphrey's McGee. This is a podcast about the making of Asking For A Friend with the members of Umphrey's McGee. In Episode Eleven we focus on the quiet ballad, buried deep in the second half of Asking For A Friend, “How About Now.” A simple acoustic song recorded in a single take, it showcases Brendan Bayliss's lyrical brilliance, and the simple approach the band took on their latest album. Highlighting his own sense of doubt around his songwriting as well as the immediate reception of the song by his bandmates and producers, this is a perfect encapsulation of what makes Bayliss such a constant in the world of Umphrey's McGee.Talking Circles is a production of Osiris Media and Umphrey's McGee.

This is a podcast about the making of Asking For A Friend with the members of Umphrey's McGee. In Episode Five we talk with Brendan Bayliss and Jake Cinninger about the song “New Wings.” Written by Cinninger and then sent to Bayliss for lyrical additions, it represents the “three chords and the truth” approach that defines much of Asking For a Friend. Focusing on the brilliant hook within the song, and the band's eagerness to play these songs live, we focus this episode on how Cinninger and Bayliss work together why a simpler approach to songwriting defined the best parts of Asking For a Friend.Talking Circles is a production of Osiris Media and Umphrey's McGee.

This is a podcast about the making of Asking For A Friend with the members of Umphrey's McGee. In Episode Three we talk with Jake Cinninger and Joel Cummins about the song “Dayville Monarchy.” As opposed to the previous songs from Asking For A Friend that we have looked at, Dayville Monarchy was presented to the band as a fully-realized demo created by Cinninger in his studio. Joel Cummins discusses the difference between working with this type of demo vs. something that might be more of a rough sketch of a song. We also learn about the group's exercise in writing lyrics together in the studio. Talking Circles is a production of Osiris Media and Umphrey's McGee. Audio production by Matt Dwyer.

Welcome back to Talking Circles - a production of Osiris Media & Umphrey's McGee. This is a podcast about the making of Asking For A Friend with the members of Umphrey's McGee. In Episode Three we talk with Brendan Bayliss about the song “So Much.” Written in the late-aughts as a way to make up for two weeks of procrastination, the song is a three-chords-and-the-truth rarity in the UM catalog. Having been auditioned for a number of previous albums, it finally found its home in the Asking For A Friend sessions as its themes spoke clearly to the entire band during 2020. We discuss the origins of the song, its improvisational evolution, the freedom with which the band approached its recording session, and where Bayliss sees the song evolving going forward. Talking Circles is a production of Osiris Media and Umphrey's McGee.
