The counterpoint and the melancholy in this piece remind me of Bach and Scarlatti transcriptions, in the style of Peter Blanchette; but with the psychedelic bluegrass phrasing of Leo Kottke and the punchy rock bass of Mike Gordon.
Omg. Yesssss. I’ve been watching Leo play this tune live for over 10 years... so glad this has now been recorded. You can find a full video of him playing this solo on my channel.
Yay, new solo Leo Kottke guitar! I hope the new album isn't too (personal opinion incoming) "overdone" like the other two colabs. I'm not a Phish fan, so don't get upset at me. I just like the guitar and Leo Kottke is just really freakin' good at it.
So astonishing this thing brings goosebumps.
Just when I think 2020 can't get any better!
That comment is maybe only the second good thing about 2020, the first of which being this song having been posted
Yeah aye I literally was so excited to hear the new album its pretty amazing its worth the time to listen to
Hell yeah. Best Mike Side project
Haven't heard from Leo for ages - great to hear this track reminds me of gentle giant. What a combo that would have been. Great combo here with Mike.
I have waited so long!!
Two of the most incredible musicians ever! Love this new album!👍😎🎸
I love this so much! Fingers crossed we get a tour next year!

Can't wait for this!
Ahhhhh... I had no idea this was coming out so soon. I'm super excited. This is my favorite Mike side project. Leo is a picking genius.
yes!

I have needed this. Badly.
This is already an old favorite. It fits with ease
like a familiar friend. Thanks Michael and Leo.
Such a lovely surprise release, looking forward to the rest.
So nice
Mesmerizing.

At last, finally!

Well upon further listening, there's Mike Gordon's bass in the back there, but it's unobtrusive.
AndrewGurn from what I’ve read, it’s not.
@@ec2B Nice, I hope you're right. Pre-ordered anyway because this song is great
@@AndrewGurn if anyone knows how to play with a great guitarist it’s mike Gordon
@@smokinghotbagnahmeentastey3300 I suppose so. This turned out to be a really good album
What a great track...thank god these 2 are back at it! This is refreshing after Trey's disappointing quarantine album
Very Stash-like. I'm loving this.
'How many people'
This a rough cut for sho!!
Sho nuff!!!
Do they tune to 432HZ or 440HZ?
Fuckin' Awesome! I've always been a Leo "purist" but, MG, you really add to "Ants"! Tell Leo I said so...he should get a kick out of it!
Welcome back fellers
Perhaps the relevant allusion in Latin American fiction would be "Los venenos" by Julio Cortazar.
ive gotta be honest this does kinda remind me of ants tho
Because it is
On entend bien les fourmis.
I can see Phish doing this
The worst tune Leo ever recorded. And...I have 13 albums and have seen him in concert. I also play 6 & 12-string acoustic guitars. 😢
? Wow
