On Thursday, The String Cheese Incident officially released their latest single, “I Want You”, from their SCI Sound Lab. The track was initially premiered via Rolling Stone.

“I Want You” marks The String Cheese Incident’s second standalone single release of the year, on the heels of February’s “Bhangra Saanj”, featuring experimental electronic fusion group Beats Antique. The band recruited The Infamous Stringdusters dobro master Andy Hall on the latest studio endeavor, written and and led by guitarist Bill Nershi.

In the accompanying video for the new release, the track opens up with Nershi floating in a meditative state of mind before the camera pans to the band in the studio. Drummer Michael Travis sets the tempo with a snappy, uptempo beat, as Hall and keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth add some smooth backing texture behind Nershi’s lead on vocals.

The String Cheese Incident’s Bill Nershi shared his insights on the new track with Rolling Stone, explaining,

This song was inspired by feelings for my wife. She’s been with me through thick and thin for 22 years and still brings out the best in me.
