Today, Phish’s Page McConnell and Trey Anastasio announced they have a new album titled January, set to release later this week on Friday, March 10, via JEMP Records. The project will be released exclusively digitally, and the first song off the offering, “Dancing in Midair,” can be enjoyed now.
The album is comprised of eight original tracks composed by the duo and serves as a follow-up to December, which served as an acoustic reinterpretation of Phish songs. January was recorded and produced in January of 2023 at Trout Studios in Brooklyn, N.Y., by Bryce Goggin. The album features McConnell on keyboards and vocals and Anastasio on guitars, drums, bass and vocals.
“We just walked into the studio with literally an acoustic guitar and a couple of synthesizers,” said Anastasio in an interview on SiriusXM’s Phish Radio. “Songs are mysterious. They sound different. It was limiting, in a great way.”
