Since 2004′s Anchor Drops, Chicago’s Umphrey’s McGee have chosen to release every studio album via String Cheese Incident’s SCI Fidelity label, but for their forthcoming sixth studio release the progressive jam outfit have linked with ATO Records, co-founded by Dave Matthews. Entitled Death By Stereo, a press release describes the LP as “a lethal musical gumbo stewed by the band’s seemingly telepathic six members”, so get ready to eat up.

Death by Stereo, the follow-up to 2009′s Mantis, will be available September 13th via the previously mentioned ATO Records. The band has yet to release an official tracklist, but confirmed track titles include “Conduit”, “Booth Love”, “Sticky Fingers”, “Wellwishers”, “Domino Theory”, and “Miami Virtue”. According to a June 7th post on the band’s official site, expect the album cover, tracklisting, and pre-order information to be announced shortly.

Prior to the album’s release, the sextet have plotted an extensive eastern U.S. tour. Peep all the dates below, and score tickets here.
