STRING CHEESE / LEND ME A HAND - Rock

The String Cheese Incident are thrilled to announce their first studio album in over six years, Lend Me A Hand, which will be released on September 8th via SCI Fidelity Records. The new collection of songs showcases the full depth and character of their songwriting like never before, ultimately delivering some of their most intimate and emotionally potent material to date. A poignant yet high-spirited reflection on love, loss and resilience, Lend Me A Hand emerged as SCI coped with such life-changing events as the sudden death of their close friend Jesse Aratow (a member of their management team for most of the band's history). As they dreamed up a batch of songs firmly centered on their storytelling, the band joined forces with Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Hiss Golden Messenger, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Waxahatchee), a producer whose distinct vision helped SCI to fully embrace the album's rootsy simplicity. SCI's eighth studio album trades their history of mind-bending genre-hopping for a sublimely stripped-back form of folk-rock. Arriving as the band gets set to celebrate it's 30th anniversary, Lend Me A Hand showcases the full depth and character of their songwriting like never before, ultimately delivering some of their most intimate and emotionally potent material to date.
