Undermind, Phish’s eleventh full-length studio album, will be available on vinyl for the first time November 21, both in stores and online. It’s available for pre-order now at Phish Dry Goods → https://dry.gd/undermind. The new 2-LP “Tiny” Edition (180g Black/Purple with Splatter) includes gatefold packaging and a first pressing that is individually foil numbered. This pressing includes the track “Tiny” on Side D, which was not on the original album. Vinyl lacquers were cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering.
Undermind was recorded at The Barn in Vermont by producer Tchad Blake in February 2004 and mixed by Tchad in England at Real World Studios in March 2004. The majority of songs were written by Trey Anastasio and Tom Marshall, along with Scott Herman on “Scents And Subtle Sounds” and “Undermind.” Page McConnell contributed “Army Of One”, Mike Gordon “Access Me,” and Jon Fishman “Tomorrow’s Song”.
The instrumentals “Maggie’s Revenge” and internet/vinyl bonus “Tiny” were excerpted from a full-band improvised 47-minute studio jam dubbed Headphones Jam. “Secret Smile” included an eleven-piece string section arranged by Maria Schneider. The single “The Connection” remains in occasional live rotation along with most of the album.
Undermind was Phish’s last album on Elektra Records (originally released June 15, 2004), with the band ultimately founding their own JEMP Records in 2005.
