The new studio album from Phish's Trey Anastasio
Deluxe 180-gram colored LP also includes a bonus 7-inch record and download card for the album
Traveler, Phish frontman Trey Anastasio's newest studio album, was co-produced with Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Jónsi) at Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Musicians include Trey Anastasio Band, Mates of State's Kori Gardner, The National's Bryan Devendorf and Matt Berninger, Bon Iver's Rob Moose, and Icelandic percussionist Samuli Kosminen.
Enlisting noted producer Katis and members of the indie-rock community, Anastasio used the studio as an instrument-and created an album full of rich soundscapes and late-night halos, according to music mag Relix.
"More so than most of Phish's recent work, Traveler marries Katis and Anastasio's current indie-rock influences with both musicians' rich background in orchestral rock and patient, layered soundscapes. While some have noted that Anastasio's so-called 'indie rock' album might bookmark a certain cultural period in his career — like the Dead's disco days, The Rolling Stones' psychedelic period and Bob Dylan's gospel years — fans should know that Katis actually dreamed up Traveler on the way home from a Phish show. 'Peter came to see Phish live,' Anastasio explains. 'And he said, ‘What if we set out to make a record that people could pop on in their car on their way back from a concert or that they could throw on at 2 a.m., when they're driving?'" — Relix
