What started as rehearsals for the upcoming Phish New Year’s shows quickly progressed into a full-blown recording session, the results of which are distilled onto a new studio release, Round Room, due out Dec. 10 on Elektra Records.

Recorded in four days in October by producer Bryce Goggin, the album ripples with raw, vital energy and features a healthy dose of the band’s trademark improvisational style. In total, the album’s twelve tracks clock in at over seventy minutes.

In addition to their sold-out New Year’s shows, Phish will hit the road several times in 2003, including a run of dates in the second half of February that spans both coasts – details to follow in the coming weeks.

1. Pebbles and Marbles
