Last night, Phish released the first single – “Breath and Burning” – from their new album, Big Boat. While fans wait patiently for the October 7th release date, we just can’t help but wonder what other songs are featured on the new release.
Fortunately, we now have the full 13-song tracklisting! When the one single was uploaded onto iTunes Music, the titles of the other 12 songs from the album also appeared in their database. See for yourself in the screenshot below:
Since the titles are greyed out and hard to read, we’ll reprint them and the track times below:
1. Friends (3:42)
2. Breath and Burning (4:20)
3. Home (6:26)
4. Blaze On (4:20)
5. Tide Turns (4:21)
6. Things People Do (1:54)
7. Waking Up Dead (4:15)
8. Running out of Time (3:32)
9. No Men in No Man’s Land (4:59)
10. Miss You (7:01)
11. I Always Wanted It This Way (4:29)
12. More (4:22)
13. Petrichor (13:22)
Of those songs, eight of them – “Friends,” “Breath and Burning,” “Blaze On,” “Tide Turns,” “Things People Do,” “Waking Up Dead,” “No Men in No Man’s Land,” and “Miss You” – were debuted in either 2015 and 2016. “Petrichor” is actually an interesting selection, as it was written by Trey Anastasio for an orchestral tour and debuted back in 2014, but this is its first appeance in anything Phish related. It makes sense that the song is also the famed 13-minute orchestral piece that Hamilton percussionist Andrés Forero referenced in an interview back in June.
It seems the other four songs – “Home,” “Running out of Time,” “I Always Wanted it This Way,” and “More” – are brand new selections that are unheard by Phish fans. Interestingly, songs like “Mercury,” “Shade,” “Can’t Always Listen” and the 2016 favorite, “Ass Handed,” did not make the cut.
With just a few weeks to go, we can’t wait to hear what Big Boat has in store.
