Phish Capture Famous Live Vibe on New Summer Album Joy

Rosetta Stones David Fricke recently spoke with the reunited Phish to get the story Rosetta Stone V3 behind the Vermont quartets comeback album, which RS can exclusively report will be titled Joy.Three weeks after their triumphant three-night reunion concerts at Virginias Hampton Coliseum in March, the band and producer Steve Lillywhite spent three weeks in New Yorks Chung King Studios, mapping out the 10-song album and recording all the basic tracks live in the studio. Joy "feels more like a live record than a lot of our live records," guitarist Trey Anastasio tells RS.Many of Joys songs have already become live staples on Phishs reunion trek, and they unleashed new gems during both of their headlining Bonnaroo sets. Fans are already connecting to the Lynyrd Skynyrd-flavored "Kill Devil Falls," "Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan" and the epic 13-minute closer "Time Turns Elastic," which the band released as a digital Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 download in May. According to Anastasio, "Time" took 278 takes to get the song right, as Lillywhite forced the band to nail down all 15 sections of Anastasios prog-rock closer.”I wanted every member to play every section perfectly," Lillywhite said.Lyrically, much of Joy draws from Anastasios struggles with drugs and his return from a 2006 arrest for possession. The albums title track was written when Anastasios sister was fighting cancer earlier this year (she died in April). Still, Trey insists that the titles message "is affirming with a dose of reality."
