Umphrey’s McGee Shares ‘Can’t Rock My Dream Face’ Mashup Single

On November 11 Umphrey’s McGee will release a new studio album made up entirely of mashups entitled ZONKEY. Today, the six-piece has shared another preview of the album via the track “Can’t Rock My Dream Face.”

UM first incorporated mashups of covers and original songs during their 2008 Halloween concert at The Warfield in San Francisco and have kept the tradition going during subsequent holiday shows. They’ve already issued the LP tracks “National Loser Anthem” mashing together Radiohead’s “National Anthem,” Beck’s “Loser” and Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight” as well as “Life During Exodus” which compiles Talking Heads’ “Life During Wartime,” Bob Marley’s “Exodus,” Frank Zappa’s “City Of Tiny Lites” and Chicago’s “25 or 6 to 4.”

The latest preview, “Can’t Rock My Dream Face,” has component parts pulled from Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You,” The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” Give a listen to the newly shared single, followed by the two previously shared ZONKEY tracks below:
