Mutual Benefit has announced the follow-up to 2013′s Love’s Crushing Diamond.

Also check out the album art and tracklist below.
In a press release, Lee said of the album’s title:
I kept coming back to how nice that was, throwing these stones against the water. I thought it was a fitting metaphor for the endeavors I have in my life—sometimes they work out and sometimes they don’t. I think it’s a good exercise in accepting impermanence and failure and these things that are constant, and yet the activity of skipping stones is really relaxing and beautiful.
