Phish Accidentally Write Enough Songs For New Album

Damn those jam-bands. Give them a couple of rehearsal sessions and they walk out with enough material for a full record.

This October, after a two-year hiatus, jam-band kings Phish were busy rehearsing for their upcoming New Year's Eve show in New York. They ended up jamming out several new songs and decided to use their time together to record a record. Before anyone could blink their eyes, over 70 minutes of music was down on tape. The new disc, Round Room, will be in stores by December 10.

"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," Phish write on their official website. Fans who order the CD directly off the site will be eligible to win tix to the NYC New Year's Eve show.

Round Room is Phish's first CD since 2000's Farmhouse.
