Liz Phair has formally announced her first album in 10 years. It’s titled Soberish and tentatively due out on shelves this summer. The veteran alt-rocker has also lined up a US tour of the same name, slated to launch just before Phair hits the road with Alanis Morissette.
Phair first teased the new album in October by sharing lead single “Good Side”, which saw her reunite with her Exile in Guyville producer Brad Wood. According to Phair, the track eventually “set the production tone” for the entirety of her Funstyle follow-up.
As for what fans can expect from the rest of Soberish? Speaking on Kyle Meredith With… recently, Phair described the upcoming effort as a “stranger, much more experimental, deeper and twistier journey.”

“Twistier” is an appropriate word given the steps Phair took to finally complete this new full-length. Phair had actually been working on material with alleged abuser Ryan Adams as far back as 2017, but a negative experience led to the end of their collaborations and the total scrapping of their recordings. “He was unreliable, and I wasn’t willing to go along with his process,” she previously recounted to Vulture.
Phair’s corresponding “Soberish Tour” takes place in May, ahead of her opening stint on Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill anniversary tour. Tickets on go sale this Friday, March 6th at noon local time on Ticketmaster.
