Phish To Return To Studio Next Month January 12, 2004 - Burlington Free Press By Staff Fresh off its well-received, yearlong comeback following a two year hiatus, Phish will next month head into the studio to record with Grammy-winning engineer Tchad Blak, who has lent his distinctive touch to acclaimed albums by Sheryl Crow, Los Lobos, Tom Waits, Soul Coughing and The Bad Plus. Blake will then mix the album, tentatively scheduled for release this summer (most likely followed by a tour), at world music-influenced pop star Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in England. "That's really exciting for us, " Phish keyboardist Page McConnell said in a recent phone interview. "We've been working with a lot of the same folks over the last three or four albums, so it's nice to have someone who's going to have new opinions and fresh perspectives."
