Perennial jam rockers The String Cheese Incident have announced their first studio album in six years [out Sep. 8] alongside the title track “Lend Me A Hand.”

This first taste of new material is a showcase of the long-timers’ lyrical cultivation, elevating their poignant words above everything else. Speaking to their process, guitarist Keith Moseley shares:

We’d lost someone who’s been an important part of our team for so long. All those thoughts and feelings coalesced into something that’s much more focused on the storytelling and feels more like hanging out in the living room with us while we sing you some songs. Rather than trying to be flashy with the musicianship, our goal was to make sure nothing got in the way of the lyrics.

Well, mission accomplished.
