Relix reports that Fishman discussed the status of the new Phish album during one of his appearances in Philadelphia. According to the report, the drummer said the band is done recording the album – which was produced by Bob Ezrin – and that the LP will mostly be comprised of songs fans haven’t heard yet.
Phish drummer Jon Fishman concluded a busy two days in Philadelphia stumping for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders with a performance at North Bowl Lounge & Lanes. Fish performed with a band featuring Eli Winderman of Dopapod, Clay Parnell of Particle, Ian McGuire of CIA, Muscle Tough’s Joe Baldacci, Jon Coleman and Ross Bellenoit as well as Risky Disko.
Fish’s time on stage included a cover of the fitting Talking Heads hit “Burning Down The House.” Watch footage of the cover captured by 215music:

Jon returns to the road with Phish starting June 22 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
