String Cheese Incident Releasing New Album – Song In My Head- April 29th

20 years into their career, the String Cheese Incident will be releasing their ninth album–and first studio album in nine years. Song In My Head the band’s new album, is due out April 29 on SCI Fidelity Records/Loud & Proud Records.  Song In My Head was produced by Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads and includes 10 new songs written collaboratively by the group over the past nine years.  Their friend Zac Brown and his band lend vocals to “Colorado Bluebird Sky,” the lead-off track.  Check out the promotional video below

After years of feeling more like live players than studio musicians, the band members finally tapped into the skill that two decades’ worth of performing brings.  “Stylistically, the album feels like the most modern expression of our music,” drummer Michael Travis says. “We continue to be the newest version of our expanding stylistic interest. This album feels more genuinely us. It’s everything we’ve learned about making an album.”

In December of 2012, after some time spent pursuing other endeavors, the musicians went into a rehearsal studio in Boulder, the Colorado city they’ve called home since the early days of the band. Although they initially went in to practice for a series of upcoming tour dates, the band decided to use the time to record a few tracks.  The band had performed much of the material  live, but it had not yet been recorded.  Inspiration was immediate and the experience was notably enjoyable–a sensibility they felt has been missing previously in the studio.  “We hadn’t recorded for so long that we had all these songs that we liked,” Bill Nershi says. “We were learning them live and playing them out, but none of them had been recorded. We just decided that we needed to get some of these songs down.”  Keith Moseley adds, “Once we started recording rehearsals, we realized, ‘Okay, this is gonna be easy.  We knew we had some good tunes. And we were on to some good arrangements. The project really started picking up momentum once we actually got started.”  With the help of producer Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads to tighten up the songs, the band recorded an album that, as Nershi says, “really sounds like us—maybe more so than any of the other albums that we’ve done.”
