Trey Anastasio goes instrumental

Trey Anastasio will self-release his new album The Horseshoe Curve on July 24. The album in entirely instrumental, its titled inspired by a train that passed next to the stage during his 2002 show in Pittsburgh. "You can hear it on the record," Anastasio stated. "It sounded incredible, the band started playing to the rhythm of the train and hence, the name of the album."

Neat. A train is probably the second most wicked non-traditional instrument, next to cannon-fire.

A portion of money made from sales will benefit Anastasio’s Seven Below Arts Initiative, which offers residency programs at an old Phish studio called The Barn.
