OHMPHREY Featuring Ex-MEGADETH Guitarist CHRIS POLAND: 'Posthaste' Due In April

March 22, 2012

OHMPHREY, the jam band supergroup featuring three members of the prog rock/veteran jam band UMPHREY'S MCGEE (keyboardist Joel Cummins, guitarist Jake Cinninger and drummer Kris Myers) alongside OHM:/ex-MEGADETH guitarist Chris Poland and bassist Robertino Pagliari (a.k.a. "Pag"),will release its new album, "Posthaste", on April 10 via Magna Carta. Tracks such as "The River Runs", "Tom Bombadil" (named after a character in J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord Of The Rings" fantasy trilogy),"The Sun Also Rises", and "The Devil's in the Details" are as distinctive and enthralling as their titles might suggest. Each track has its own identity and the music never lets up. Even upon repeat listens, "Posthaste" continues to inspire, surprise and even shock.

Dig the joyous and playful staccato rhythms, Cummins' Wakeman-esque lead synth lines and Myers' ability to play with time during a drum solo in "Ramona's Car Wash". Rifle through your memories as you listen to the intriguing arpeggios opening "The Shoemaker's Back" (as if these riffs have been encoded with subliminal information). Free your mind (and your butt) to the totally chilled out trace/dance feel of "Reggaelic" (which fades with a glorious guitar solo).

01. Devil's In The Details
02. The Sun Also Rises
03. Tom Bombadil
04. The River Runs
05. The Shoemaker's Back
