This Friday, April 5, The Infamous Stringdusters will follow up their Grammy-winning record, 2017’s Laws of Gravity, with their latest studio effort, Rise Sun, and today we offer a sneak preview of the full album.

“Rise Sun is an album that we needed to make to re-affirm and solidify something we’d been feeling for some time: the desire for togetherness, the desire for hope, the desire for love,” ‘Dusters dobroist Andy Hall tells Relix. “These songs represent our best effort at capturing not only those feelings of positivity, but the energy of our live show on a record as well. Those two things together are what make this album unique. We’ve put all our energy of hopeful intention into this project and we hope you can feel it!”

From the lead track of the album, the titular “Rise Sun,” the five-piece group offers that hopefulness with lyrics like “We’ve been hoping/ There’s a new day coming/ And it is not promised/ But it’s all we know,” sung over a chugging bluegrass groove, and that energy rarely lets up throughout the tracks, save for moments of slower reflective beauty like in “Somewhere in Between.” This is The Infamous Stringdusters following up their award-winning collection with another winner, replete with rich harmonies and the exquisite musicianship that fans have come to expect from the group.

“Rise Sun is the culmination of 12 years of writing and performing together as a band of brothers,” adds bassist Travis Book. “More than ever, we’re collectively oriented toward gratitude, the present and compassion. We have an opportunity to raise the frequency we’re all vibrating on and this record is the result of our desire to elevate our consciousness and the consciousness of those who’re listening.”

Listen to Rise Sun below. The Infamous Stringdusters play tonight in Charleston, SC, and have a busy spring schedule planned, including a date at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre with Phil Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band on May 29. See their full tour dates here.
