Ghosts of the Forest by Trey Anastasio

Ghosts of the Forest is the 2019 debut album from the side project of the same name led by Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio, released on April 12 on vinyl and streaming only. Phish drummer Jon Fishman plays on it, as does bassist Tony Markellis of the Trey Anastasio Band, in what turned out to be his final studio work with Anastasio before his death in 2021.

Anastasio built the project partly to honour Chris Cottrell, a friend lost to adrenal cancer in January 2018, and the nine songs on the album, "Drift While You're Sleeping" among them, are only part of the story. Onstage the band stretched out with the long improvisations Phish fans know, but unlike his other groups they played the same setlist every night, adding eleven songs that never made the record. The documentary Between Me and My Mind, released that same year, followed the project closely.
