Fuego is the 12th studio album by the American rock band Phish. Scheduled to be released on June 24, 2014, it will be the their twelfth official studio album and their first in five years, since 2009's Joy. In a playful spin on Phish's tradition of muscial costumes, the band debuted nine songs from the album on October 31, 2013 as the second set of their Halloween concert at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The album is a mix of rock, soul, reggae and bluegrass.
The original working title of the album was Wingsuit, but in May 2014 Phish announced that the album would be called Fuego. Ultimately, three songs included in the Halloween performance debut didn't make it onto the studio version: "Snow," "Amidst the Peals of Laughter," and "You Never Know." "Halfway to the Moon" made its live debut in 2010.
Fuego was recorded in late 2013 in Nashville, Tennessee after a series of writing sessions at The Barn in Vermont and was produced by Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel). While Fuego's ten new tracks include songs that individual members brought to the table in usual Phish fashion, the bulk of the material was written by all four, working together at The Barn.
One track, "Waiting All Night" was released on NPR's website on May 14, 2014, along with a complete track listing of the album.[9] A second song, "The Line", was released online for streaming on May 27, 2014 and a third, "555," was released on YouTube on June 12, 2014. Three days later, on June 15, 2014, the entire album was made available to the public to stream online on NPR's website as a part of its "First Listen" series.
