Pressing Strings has released their latest studio album …And I For You. This is the seventh album by the Annapolis, Maryland-based trio. It was released via Warren Hayne’s Evil Teen Records. Prior to the album’s release, the band shared the singles “Your Love” and “Carousel”.

The 11 songs on …And I For You were produced by Steven Wright who has worked with a long list of artists including U.N.K.L.E, Mos Def, Gregory Isaacs, Slipknot, Blackstar, Omar Rodriguez, M.I.A, Lake Trout, King Mez, Maysa, Bibi Bourelly, Dying Fetus, Tiffany Evans, Jah Works, North East Groovers, Carl Filipiak, and SR71. “Your Love” is a catching tune which opens the album which is Pressing String’s first which features all members sharing the singing and harmonies. The melodies on …And I For You reflect the band’s upbeat optimism, from the easy, affable designs of “Down For You” and “We Will Be Alright” to the instantly engaging sound of “Weather The Storm,” the playful yet persistent “No One Else,” and the emotive and expressive “When The Morning Comes.”

Pressing Strings first formed in 2006 while Sokel was still in college. The band officially debuted in
2008 with their album, Where We Are, and now has a deep catalog that includes the albums Episodes
(2010), Pressing Strings (2012), Life of a Tree (2013), Owe the Source (2015), and Settle In (2020) as
well as two EPs, Most of Us (2016) and Morning Takes (2021). As Pressing Strings built up their
impressive live show and paid their dues gigging, their fame was spreading throughout the entire
Eastern Seaboard, leading to headlining venues across Maryland and Washington, DC and frequent
festival appearances at Peach Music Festival, Firefly, Sweetwater 420 Fest, Floydfest, and more.
Over the last decade, the three-piece — Jordan Sokel (Guitar, Vocals), Nick Welker (Bass, Vocals),
and Justin Kruger (Drums, Vocals) — has also toured and opened for the likes of The Beach Boys,
Gov’t Mule, Toad the Wet Sprocket, JJ Grey & Mofro, Rachael Yamagata, Neal Francis, The Toadies, Jerry
Douglas, Sam Roberts Band, Michael Glabicki (Rusted Root), Rayland Baxter, and Junior Marvin of the
Wailers. In addition to their touring success and amassing over 6 million streams, radio has also
taken notice, with national AAA and public broadcasters across the U.S. eagerly embracing Pressing
Strings and taking them to the top of their charts. As a result, they’ve been featured on WTMD’s “Top
89 Songs of the Year” five times and WRNR’s “Top 103” four times, among other highlights.

Pressing Strings is touring in July and August. Visit www.pressingstrings.com for more information and tickets.
