Phish Reunion

Phish.com is reporting that the new Phish album to be released July 28th is called Joy. According to the site:

“Phish will be releasing Joy, their first studio album in five years, later this summer on JEMP Records. The record was recorded in New York City this spring with producer Steve Lillywhite. Stay tuned for further details and pre-order information in the coming weeks! The last track, Time Turns Elastic, is available now at iTunes.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Trey said it “feels more like a live record than a lot of our live records.” I’m excited to see what that means, as they’ve always struggled to bring the live sound to the studio.

Here’s the track list:

1. Twenty Years Later
2. Backwards Down the Number Line
3. Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan
4. Light
5. Joy
6. Sugar Shack
7. Ocelot
8. Kill Devil Falls
9. I’ve Been Around
10. Time Turns Elastic
