Mutual Benefit has announced the follow-up to 2013's Love's Crushing DiamondSkip a Sinking Stone is out May 20 via Mom + Pop in North America, Spunk in Australia/New Zealand, and Transgressive everywhere else. Watch the animated clip for "Not for Nothing" below. 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.
