The String Cheese Incident have shared two new tracks, “Vertigo” and “Otherside,” as the band continues to share the output from its SCI Sound Lab series, which was introduced last year as a way to get newly recorded music to SCI fans quickly.

On their YouTube page, SCI call “Vertigo” “an old school SCI rocker, a high energy jam that promises to be a powerful addition to the live repertoire” and share some words from guitarist and vocalist Bill Nershi: “I was getting ready to go to the Solar Eclipse Festival in Oregon last year. I looked at the sun through a newly acquired pair of sunoculars. Half an hour later everything started spinning. This is the song about my experience since then.”

On the other hand, “Otherside” shows another side of SCI, as they teamed up with electro-pop trio TELYKast and dance-music singer-songwriter Ruby Chase for the track. SCI call the collaboration “a powerful song which highlights each artist’s recognizable musicianship, backed by distinctive production and songwriting.”

Listen to both new tracks below.
