Phish Releases 16th Album, “Evolve”
The jam band heroes in Phish have returned with their 16th studio album, entitled Evolve. The follow-up to 2020’s Sigma Oasis is described as “rocking out with a sense of urgency” as they blend genres.
Evolve features songs that were debuted in concert over the last few years. “True to Phish’s unique creative process, the album’s songs (including the already released ‘Evolve’ and ‘Oblivion’) were selected from arrangements shaped by the band’s dynamic live performances. Some, like the fan-favorite ‘A Wave Of Hope’, have become springboards for Phish’s most soaring improvisation. Throughout, the songcraft and production are confident and taut, with Phish’s distinct musical language on vivid display; still pushing boundaries, still very much continuing to evolve.”
Bassist Mike Gordon runs the gamut of styles from blues-rock to jazz to bluegrass and more. Check out the fun bass line on “Evolve”:
