(PR) Chicago's Umphrey's McGee enters its second decade together with their hardest, darkest, and most artistically cohesive album to date.

The new album hits streets on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009, when Mantis casts another Windy City family into the limelight. The first single from Mantis, "Measure to Measure," has already debuted at #1 on the R&R Indicator Top 30 chart (tied with "Lucky" - Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat duet).

Umphrey's McGee will appear on PBS's critically acclaimed concert series, Soundstage, on February 5, 2009 - just in time to celebrate the release of Mantis. Look for the new material on Mantis to get a live workout in 2009, when the band hits the road in support of the new album. Confirmed tour dates are as follows:
