Phish frontman Trey Anastasio will release a new song, titled “Scabbard,” off his forthcoming album on August 21. The six-minute track, along with its album art, can now be sampled over at Amazon.com. Upon a brief first listen, “Scabbard” has a lush sound with a more composed (read: Zappa-esque) feel than much of Anastasio’s recent material.

As previously reported, Anastasio was in the studio earlier this year working alongside noted producer Peter Katis (The National/Mates of State, Interpol) on a new album. The album is also said to feature members of The National, Mates of State, yMusic and members of Anastasio’s solo band including Jennifer Hartswick and Natalie Cressman.
