HELPING HAND

Helping Hand is The Simpkin Project's fifth full-length studio album, a meticulously crafted work recorded independently in the band’s personal studios in Huntington Beach, CA. True to their roots, the band approached this album the same way they have with all their previous releases—handcrafted, choice by choice, capturing an organic and intentional sound. Like planting a tree, the music was nurtured over time, resulting in a body of work that represents their most refined and deeply expressive effort to date.
