Phish Opens The Doors To Its 'Farmhouse' February 10, 2000 - Billboard By Jonathan Cohen Album Review - Farmhouse Phish will see its eighth studio album, "Farmhouse," released May 16 on Elektra. The album was recorded in guitarist Trey Anastasio's Vermont studio with producer Bryce Goggin. "Farmhouse" is the acclaimed rock quintet's first studio disc since the 1998 set "The Story Of The Ghost," and follows the winter 1999 release of the six-CD live box set, "Hampton Comes Alive." A tracklist for "Farmhouse" has yet to be finalized, but the 12-track album is expected to feature a number of the unreleased songs performed frequently on Phish's fall 1999 tour, including the title track, "Get Back On The Train," "Gotta Jiboo," and "Heavy Things." After two warmup dates on May 21-22 at New York's famed Radio City Music Hall and a week-long club tour in Japan, the band will embark on its standard North American summer jaunt, beginning June 22 in Nashville and concluding with shows July 14-15 in Columbus, Ohio. Touring is expected to resume in mid-September. In other Phish news, a documentary about the band titled "Bittersweet Motel" will make its debut March 12 at the South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas. "Outside Out," a film by Phish bassist Mike Gordon, will also premiere. A theatrical release of "Bittersweet Motel," which profiles the band and its 1997 festival the Great Went, is also in the works.
