With the first leg of their summer tour now in the history books,
Phish has announced the title of its first studio album in five
years. "Joy,"
a ten song set, is due later this summer on the
band's own JEMP Records.
As previously reported, Phish released the thirteen minute
"Time Turns Elastic" on May 26 directly through iTunes. "Joy" was
recorded in New York City and sees the seminal jam quartet
reteaming with producer Steve Lillywhite, with whom they worked
with for 1996's "Billy Breathes."
Fans who had the opportunity to catch Phish during their first
proper comeback tour got a taste of nine new tunes, when they
showcased swinging blues riffs on "Kill Devil Hills," groovy
interplays between guitarist Anastasio and pianist Page McConnell
during "Ocelot" and the long, winding jam-friendly "Light." Only
"I've Been Around" has yet to make its live debut. In March, the
band played "Backwards Down the Number Line" at their first
Hampton, Va. reunion gigs.
After a much-ballyhooed performance at Bonnaroo where they jammed
with Bruce Springsteen, Phish is currently taking some time off
before kicking off the second leg of their summer tour with a four
night stand at legendary venue Red Rocks in Morrison, Col on July
30.
Here is the track list for "Joy":
"Twenty Years Later"
"Backwards Down the Number Line"
"Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan"
"Light"
"Joy"
"Sugar Shack"
"Ocelot"
"Kill Devil Falls"
"I've Been Around"
"Time Turns Elastic"
