Just days after completing Summer Tour at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park near Denver with the best show and run of the season, Phish is looking towards the future with the announcement of a new studio album. "Big Boat," the band’s 13th studio album and first since 2014’s Fuego, is due October 7 via their JEMP Records label.
Today, the quartet announced the name of the LP, its release date and the cover art for the Bob Ezrin-produced effort. "Big Boat" takes its title from the Jon Fishman-penned “Friends” and the line “We’re on a big boat, like the ones our forefathers sailed.” Phish debuted “Friends” at The Mann in Philadelphia on June 29 and played it once more in the drummer’s hometown of Syracuse on July 10.
Few details of "Big Boat" have been revealed, but the band did share a video which gives us a taste of the LP. The song in the video is one that has yet to be performed live
Of course another one! Not that I’m complaining.
