Rolling Stone reports that Phish’s new album will be titled Joy.

Many of the songs from the forthcoming record debuted during the recent tour (as well as the Hampton run) and have been receiving mixed reviews from the fanbase. These include:

• “Backwards Down The Number Line” – an upbeat song about friendships that has featured some great lead work from Anastasio
• “Time Turns Elastic” – the thirteen-minute first ‘single’ from the record
• “Kill Devil Falls” – a straight-ahead rocker with a rather serious lyrical undertone
• “Stealing Time From The Faulty Plan” – another rocker with a great opening riff
• “Joy” – evidently, the title track and a beautiful ballad composed, at least in part, with Trey’s ailing sister in mind. ( She passed from cancer in the Spring.)

Other possible inclusions are “Ocelot”, “Light”, “Alaska”, and Mike Gordon’s “Sugar Shack”.
