Phish Fuego Album Stream Available

Ever since Phish shocked fans by performing a set of new material they intended to soon record for a studio album in lieu of covering an album by another artist back on Halloween in Atlantic City, we’ve been waiting to hear what effect the studio would have on the songs. Well today is the day we get our chance as the Bob Ezrin-produced Fuego is streaming at NPR over a week before its June 24 release date.

Fuego was recorded at Ronnie’s Place and Anarchy Studios in Nashville, TN, Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL and at The Barn in Vermont. A variety of background vocalists and horn players contributed to the album. The title track was recorded at Boardwalk Hall on October 30, as Phish prepared for the Halloween show. “For years, there’s been a distinct difference between how we did things live and how we did them in studio,” noted Jon Fishman in a press release. “But the way we go about things live, the way the musical ball is passed around, is now happening much more in the studio—not because we’re trying to duplicate how we play on stage, just because this is how we operate as a band, period.”

Here’s the tracklist for Fuego:

1. Fuego

3. Devotion To A Dream
4. Halfway To The Moon
